review 1: Dark Lie is a quick read mixing elements of mystery, psychological suspense, and religious fanaticism. Springer's narrative seamlessly alternates through Dorrie's past and present while including the perspective of her husband Sam, and Sissy Chappell, a young black police woman and handwriting expert, who is the only one realizing just how much trouble Dorrie and her daughter are facing. The horror of Dorrie's story is a convincing one in Springer's capable hands, and the result a startling page-turner. Recommended.

She will do anything to protect her daughter even to the point of putting her own life on the line. Dorrie’s problems escalate when she recognizes the abductor and opens up a bevy of secrets that Dorrie has been hiding from her husband all these years.Dorrie’s husband is having problems of his own when trying to find her he is informed that Dorrie is the prime suspect in the kidnapping and is given little if no help from authorities.A page turner that is both gripping, scary, and has enough twists and turns as Lombard Drive in Los Angeles. There is some sexual content in the book but it is done in good taste and is absolutely necessary to make this book work. less
