The Letters Of A Stranger grabbed me with the it's blurb, and I knew I needed to read this book.  Good story with lots of twists and turns.   The author did a great job of building suspense and dragging the mystery out till the right moment.   There was an immense amount of paranoia of looming danger that really kept me hooked.   The main character was strong, very independent, and believable—some of her actions seemed a little unreasonable, but it also made her interesting. I have a few qualms though, and some of this is just personal preference.   First, the style of writing seemed a little awkward to me.   It didn’t feel personal enough—though we were following the main character the whole time, I didn’t feel like I understood her thoughts much more than anyone else in the cast might have.   Secondly, and I’m not in law enforcement at all, so perhaps my understanding of the boundaries of law enforcement are skewed by what I’ve read and seen...

Okay, let me say this right off the bat, if you are any bit squeamish to the sight of blood, dead bodies, or are susceptible to nightmares, Deceit may not be the thriller murder mystery book for you.  I believe this book is capable of bending even the toughest of stomachs. I honestly did not know what I was in for when I started reading this book.   I like a good thriller, and I’m always willing to show support to a fellow independent author, especially a fellow Hoosier.   I was only a few pages into Deceit when I realized I would be spending the rest of this reading experience living inside the mind of a serial killer.   The thoughts of the characters are very deep and very raw which really amplified their individual nature.   The author did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life in such a far-out story as well as setting a tone for each scene. Gore, and pure evil thoughts aside, I won’t lie, I was gripped.   I just could not put it down. ...
