Our July selection for the Mystery Book Club was Need to Know by Karen Cleveland.
About: "What do you do when everything you trust might be a lie?
Vivian Miller is a dedicated CIA counterintelligence analyst assigned to uncover the leaders of Russian sleeper cells in the United States. On track for a much-needed promotion, she’s developed a system for identifying Russian agents, seemingly normal people living in plain sight.
After accessing the computer of a potential Russian operative, Vivian stumbles on a secret dossier of deep-cover agents within America’s borders. A few clicks later, everything that matters to her—her job, her husband, even her four children—are threatened.
Vivian has vowed to defend her country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. But now she’s facing impossible choices. Torn between loyalty and betrayal, allegiance and treason, love and suspicion, who can she trust?"

This book was one you will get so engrossed in, you may read it in one sitting. It is a psychological thriller. It got my interest right away. There is a "this could happen" feel to it and will have you thinking and looking around...for awhile.
The MBC group liked it a lot as a whole. Several read it in one day. We had many comments about "this could happen, what about neighbors, what about friends." There were also several "nah that would never happen," comments.
Keep You Close also by Karen Cleveland. The main character was in Need to Know is about the FBI. We heard we would hear more about this story and/or the characters from Need to Know in Keep You Close. If you like this book, you may want to pick up Keep You Close.
Karen Cleveland spent eight years as a CIA analyst, the last six in counterterrorism. She has master’s degrees from Trinity College Dublin, where she studied as a Fulbright Scholar, and from Harvard University.
Just sayin'....
Read it and see what you think.
