I used to watch the original To Tell the Truth; the old one in black & white, late at night on the Game Show Network, and loved it. It was charming, classy, intriguing, delightful, and funny. So I was excited when the modern iteration of the game show came out. I'm not a huge fan of the host but he's tolerable. What I don't like is his mother, Doris. She makes disgusting sexual comments that are highly inappropriate to the male contestants. Comments that would not be tolerated if a man were making them toward a woman. The men are visually uncomfortable with her remarks but they play it off like it's a funny joke, but it isn't. I'm appalled that that level of sexism is allowed on television in the post #metoo movement world. I would have thought that people realized that you can't treat people like a piece of meat but apparently Doris did not get that message. She needs to go! Boot her off the show!

Other than her, they have people with interesting secrets and truths to tell on the show and it's fun to try to guess which one of the contestants is the one with the secret. It's a shame that Doris has to spoil an otherwise entertaining show.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Fifteen years ago, Shelby Pearce confessed to murdering her brother-in-law and was sent to prison. Now she’s out on parole and looking for a fresh start in the small town of Valleysburg, Texas. But starting over won’t be easy for an ex-con.

FBI Special Agent Denton McClure was a rookie fresh out of Quantico when he was first assigned the Pearce case. He’s always believed Shelby embezzled five hundred thousand dollars from her brother-in-law’s account. So he’s going undercover to befriend Shelby, track down the missing money, and finally crack this case.

But as Denton gets closer to Shelby, he begins to have a trace of doubt about her guilt. Someone has Shelby in their crosshairs. It’s up to Denton to stop them before they silence Shelby—and the truth—forever.
