Come in have a seat. There is plenty of food and drinks for everyone. Please make yourselves at home. The new book list will be posted this week. In the event we have to cancel a meeting, the next meeting will cover all books missed and the scheduled book.
Before we begin next month's book is Sister Betty! God's Calling You, Again! by Pat G'Orge-Walker
Today's book for discussion is Behind the Veil by Suzetta Perkins
Behind The Veil is Suzetta Perkins' debut novel. It is a novel "Overflowing with lies, deceit, dangerous (and illegal) weapon sales, and extramarital affairs, Behind the Veil weaves a tale of riveting suspense and never-ending intrigue.Jefferson Myles, a sucessful businessman and CEO of his own securities firm, might be in over his head.

To make matters worse, Jefferson is cheating on his wife with his married neighbor, Linda Montgomery. And to top it all off, Blake, Linda's husband, knows about affair and knows that Jefferson is involved in some kind of illegal activity.Gradually, some secrets are revealed that put people's lives at stake. Margo, Jefferson's wife, finally discovers the real reason why her husband has been distant and uncaring. As someone attempts to kill Jefferson, surprising truths begin to surface and Margo must decide what is best for her and her family" (http://books.google.com/books?id=0461W0t0EmkC&dq=Behind+The+Veil+by+Suzetta+Perkins&source=gbs_summary_s&cad=0).
Behind the Veil is filled with suspense! I had a hard time putting the book down once I started reading it. I spent my flight to and from Vegas trying to read this book even though I could barely keep my eyes open. The ending was not what I expected and seemed a bit rushed. This novel was a great read and hopefully there will be a sequel.
