Description
Lishan has jut infuriated her editor's circle of unscrupulous friends. The idealistic journalist's Truth Be Known series publicly airs and consequently threatens the lifestyles of several dangerous and powerful men in Washington--a list that includes an extravagant senator who enjoys perks from those in power, the food and drug CEO Jack Conner, and the FDA Commissioner. But all are invested in concealing their corruption, no matter the cost.
Lishan's daring activism puts her life on the line, forcing her to enlist the aid of a trusted few: a flamboyant scientist at the FDA; a former professor who has a passion for her and who cannot control his jealousy; an author unjustly incarcerated for previously publishing the misdeeds of Conner and the FDA; and her aunt, who has guarded over and mentored Lishan following the murder of her parents when she was a child.
She finds herself threatened not only by her editor and the recipients of pointed remarks on the exposé, but also by the U.S. Attorney, the senator's legal council, and the CEO's henchmen--all determined to maintain the public's ignorance. Mix in the chaos from the men in her personal life who expose her weaknesses and strengths, and the complications in Lishan's life exceed what she thought was possible. Still, justice for the people is her driving force, no matter the risks to her life.

Lishan is a journalist who is working on exposing the corruption of the Conner company and particularly Jack Conner. His influence is spread over a wide area of the FDA, prison system, a senator and when looking into the problems behind his company you never know where you will find more to back him. It seems her own paper is fighting against her. People are dying. Lishan does not let any of this stop her as she keeps at the investigation. Can she bring down this CEO?

Silence Her was absolutely riveting. I enjoyed Douglas Fetterly's writing style immensely and look forward to read more of his suspenseful works in the future.

I requested this book because of the setting. I loved every minute of it. It's not my typical subgenre but it was really good!

A timely book! We are in a time of questioning what we ingest. This book plays into that with a journalist that delves into the FDA and the good ol" boy system. The story is well done. The relationship dramas are an interesting side story. But the government cover ups and length companies go for fast approvals were the real story. I enjoyed the book.

I am reviewing a copy of Silence Her through BooksGoSocial and Netgalley:
Lishan has just made her editors unscrupulous friends furious with the idealistic journalist Truth Be Known Series, the series had publicly aired threatening the lifestyles of dangerous men in Washington, the list includes a powerful Senator who enjoys the perks of those in high places as well as the Food and Drug CEO Jack Conner as well as the FDA commissioner, everyone of them determined to keep their corruption hidden, no matter the cost.
Lishan activism, puts her life on the line, forcing her to ask for the help of a trusted few, including a flamboyant scientist at the FDA, as well a former professor who has a passion for Lishan but has issues controlling his jealousy, as well as an Author who was falsely imprisoned for previously publishing the misdeeds of Conner, the FDA, and her Aunt who was guarded over her after her parents were murdered as a child.
She finds herself threatened not only by her editor and the recipients of pointed remarks on the exposé, but also by the U.S. Attorney, the senator's legal council, and the CEO's henchmen--all determined to maintain the public's ignorance.
I found this book to be full of Intrigue and suspense, it was well written and Lishan’s Character was well developed!
Four out of five stars!
