DEADLY DISCLOSURES delves into the world of creation vs. evolution with the FBI smack dab in the middle. Special Agent Dinah Harris–who can barely pull herself out of her self-induced stupors–is called in to assist on a missing persons case that quickly turns to a murder investigation. Thomas Whitfield, the secretary of the Smithsonian, seems like an unlikely victim. But, when Dinah and her partner find out Whitfield was quite possibly killed because of his new belief in creation, the list of suspects grows. Unfortunately, the list of victims grows as well. Being at the center of a high profile case adds to the already stressful life Dinah leads. Drinking seems to be her only escape, one that she sometimes wishes would have permanent results. She struggles with despondency and the will to live as she tries to piece together the clues before becoming the next victim.
I enjoyed DEADLY DISCLOSURE, though at times I felt the debates regarding creation and evolution got a bit taxing. Some of the debates became redundant when shared in flashbacks and present day. I liked the character of Dinah, flaws and all. I would’ve liked to have seen her partner developed, or even show a little more sympathy for the struggles Dinah was having. A lot of information was given for anyone who needs the proper ammunition to fuel their own debate. Unfortunately, my interest leaned more towards suspense and intrigue then history.
