    Amelia Wagner looked forward to spending the summer working with her father on his newspaper in Granite Springs, Arizona. Her mood soon changes when she finds her dad is critically ill. His death bed wish is for her to seek the truth about Great Western Investment Company.

    Benjamin Stone doubts the honesty of his employer and decides too join with Amelia to investigate the goings on at Great Western Investment Company.

    They we very cautious of each other in the beginning only to realize there is something special between them.

    The author has a real page turner in this story. My emotions were very confused at times trying to figure out who could be trusted . There was plenty of action, intrigue, mystery and romance to keep me turning pages. The mistrust of family members and friends was chilling. In this story the author has put all control in God's hands as the characters struggle with trust in finding the truth.

    I highly recommend this book.

    I loved Truth Be Told! Author Carol Cox has once again crafted a story filled with intrigue, mystery, and romance. Set in 1893 in the small town of Granite Springs, AZ, we meet Amelia Wagner when she comes to town to visit her father. Within a short time, her father passes away, and she inherits the Granite Springs Gazette, becoming the owner and editor of the small town's newspaper. Her first order of business is to find out what's going on behind the scenes at The Great Western Investment Company. Notes, files, and printed articles left behind by her father, the only clues that something is amiss within the land company. And while checking into the clues, Amelia must keep her eye on the handsome Ben Stone, an employee of Great Western who keeps trying to get into her good graces, hoping that she'll print a retraction for the articles that her father had written about the company. But when Ben keeps hanging around, Amelia decides to ask for his help and the two of them join forces to find out what's really going on. And the effort could prove deadly for both of them.

    I totally enjoyed this book. I loved the sweet, growing romance between Amelia and Ben. Also, the way Carol added in the touch of mystery that she does so well in each of her stories. And the Gospel was expertly threaded through the storyline. Well done, Carol!

    Carol Cox in her new book "Truth Be Told" published by Bethany House Publishers takes us into the life of Amelia Wagner.

    From the back cover: Sometimes the truth can be dangerous...

    When Amelia Wagner takes over her father's newspaper in 1893 Granite Springs, Arizona, she vows to carry on the paper's commitment to reporting only the truth. But Amelia soon learns that even the truth can have serious consequences. Her father's revealing articles about the Great Western Investment Company have caught the attention of the wrong people, and pressure mounts for Amelia to retract her father's statements.

    Determined to find out the real story, Amelia begins her own investigation. She's joined by Benjamin Stone, a Great Western employee who's been assigned to keep tabs on her for the good of the company, a man Amelia finds both perplexing and intriguing.

    What they uncover stuns them both—and has far-reaching implications for not only Ben and Amelia but all of Granite Springs. Can they reveal the truth before the enemy finds a way to silence them for good?

    Corporate corruption, greed, deceit and skillful manipulation are just some of the ingredients in "Truth Be Told". Ms. Cox always delivers a high energy story and she is just a terrific author I look forward to each and every book of hers. A small town newspaper takes on the Great Western Investment Company. If the great Jimmy Stewart had been a woman then he would be playing Amelia. This is the kind of story that Hollywood used to turn out when they actually made good movies. Be nice if they made this into a movie with great actors. Murder, mystery, intrigue, peril in a page turning adventure. The small town of Granite Springs, Arizona and the people who live there become real and are brought to life by a gifted storyteller. On top of everything Ms. Cox has also given us a romance. I really liked "Truth Be Told" and I look forward to more stories from the very talented Ms. Cox.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the character of Amelia Wagner. She is smart, witty, strong, and a woman who could, and did, run a newspaper during the settling of the west. Although this book is categorized as Historical Fiction, it could also be listed as suspense and mystery, with a touch of romance.

    I found the subplots of this novel as intriguing as the plot. Amelia is disappointed as she learns that her father was co-owner of the local brothel.....or was he? I was also interested in Amelia's relationship with her step-father, as divorce was rare during this period of history. When the plot turned to murder of those who refused to sell their land to Great Western, Amelia becomes their next target. Finally, her developing romance with Ben, the very man who was supposed to spy on her, eventually becomes her closest comrade.

    This book solves the laced clues, throughout the novel, during the final chapter. It would be an excellent book to read over a couple of evenings or give as a treat to a friend.

    When her father dies, Amelia Wagner becomes the owner and operator of his newspaper in 1893 Arkansas. Her father had instilled in her that a newspaper writer always told the truth. The Great Western Investment Company wants her to retract statements her father published. After small incidents don't scare Amelia enough to retract the statements, the company assigns one of their employees, Benjamin Stone, to get close to her and convince her to retract the statements. Instead of doing that, Benjamin recognizes her bravery and helps her to uncover proof to back up her father's articles. Cox writes memorable characters, vivid settings descriptions, and emotions of the heart. This book has ample tension to keep the reader turning pages.
