The Rivers Run Dry by Sibella Giorello

The Rivers Run Dry is published by Thomas Nelson. I have to say right off that this mystery was great--and frankly, I was a bit surprised. I expected it to be tame--and this was not at all.

The heroine, Raleigh Harmon, is an FBI agent specializing in Forensic Geology. (I never realized there was such a thing.) In this story, Raleigh's expertise is displayed in many ways, all important to revealing clues to what has happened to a missing woman.

The book is peppered with the unusual: poker games, a clairvoyant, a casino and an addicted gambler, lots of FBI involvement in the wonderfully described environment of Seattle and its surrounding mountains. There is plenty of action and thrills, along with surprising twists.

What there isn't is bad language, gratuitous sex or violence, and I didn't miss any of it.

This is a real page turner and I recommend it highly.
