But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
Jacki Lyon is a brilliant writer. I loved the book. Highly readable, well written that took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Here's the set-up:
"The Marriage of Silence and Sin" has won the SILVER MEDAL for the 2011
Independent Publisher Book Awards for the mystery/suspense/thriller
category. If you like Jodi Picoult or Stieg Larsson, the book will grab
you and run. The plot-driven story takes the reader on an electric ride
from the sleepy banks of the Ohio to Ciudad Juarez, unfolding a grisly
mystery. Dicey Carmichael, a quirky British literature professor, is
faced with the alleged suicide of a friend and former student. Convinced
the death was a tragedy much more sinister, Dicey draws her best
friend, Gale Knightly, an uptight, fast-track lawyer, into the lethal
web to help uncover the horrific truth.
Desperate to find answers, Dicey and Gale turn to the artwork the young woman left behind. Her provocative and disturbing paintings give voice to the tortured past she could not confess in life. But was her past so dark that she preferred death over life?
What if the young artist knew that someone she loved was in danger? Perhaps then she would speak out—even if it meant forfeiting her life at the hands of a killer. As Dicey and Gale dig deeper into the mystery of the girl's death, they find disturbing connections within their own lives. As they seek to give voice to their dead friend, the women must first face their own fears and prejudices to finally uncover the murderer. Will the best friends untangle the tragedy before death strikes again, but this time much closer to home?
Draped in wit and irony, "The Marriage of Silence and Sin" is a riveting, cautionary tale that explores the intermingling of human experiences, choice and fate in molding the human condition.

One Reviewer Notes:
Many of the secrets revealed in 'The Marriage of Silence and Sin' are dark indeed, yet Lyon never wallows in them nor uses them for gratuitous purposes. . . . The characters are vibrant, believable, and relevant to the contemporary world. . . . Lyon's debut novel is well worth reading. She is a writer to watch for in the future.
