Review – The Living Room

Robert Whitlow in his new book, “The Living Room”  published by Thomas Nelson takes us into the life of Amy Clarke .

From the back cover:   Amy Clarke’s dreams are coming true—and that’s the problem.

Legal secretary by day, romance novelist by night, Amy Clarke lives with a precious secret. For years, she has traveled to a holy place in her dreams—a sublime place she calls the Living Room. When she awakes, her faith and energy are supernaturally restored. And when she dreams, she receives vibrant inspiration for her novels.

As she begins to write her third book, the nature of her dreams shifts. Gone are the literary signposts. Instead, her dreams are studded with scenes that foreshadow real life. Before long, the scenes begin to spill over into her waking hours too.

As Amy becomes entangled in a high stakes case at work, her visions take on a dark hue—implicating someone dear to her, causing her to question everything. And convincing her to trust someone with his own shadowy secrets.

Things are not always what they seem. But as fiction, dreams, and real life begin to overlap, Amy must stop dreaming and act to prevent tragedy.

Suspense and intrigue abound in this new thriller by Robert Whitlow.  I wasn’t sure exactly how Mr. Whitlow was going to get this going but he has a way of drawing you into the story and keeping you there, willingly I might add.  For financial reason Amy has to go back to work as a legal secretary and there the dreams she has been having are beginning to take on reality.  There is a place where we can all meet with God, some of us make use of it, some of us do not.  Amy does and God has been giving her some truth that needs to come out.  Now she s in danger until everything can be revealed.  Robert Whitlow has written an interesting story that moves along at a remarkably brisk pace.  “The Living Room” is full of interesting characters that keep us involved in the story.  “The Living Room” is a powerful story and one that will keep you highly interested and flipping pages as fast as you can.  I liked this book and recommend it to your reading list.
