Formula of
Deception by Carrie Stuart Parks
Artist Murphy Anderson has a past. She finds herself in the middle of a mystery
where people who have the answers she needs, killed. She fears she may be next, especially since
the murderer of her twin sister has escaped prison. She is not sure who to trust. As the murderer gets closer, she must protect
the innocent and somehow put the pieces together to solve the mystery.
This is the first in a series about a new character for this
author. Her previous series was about
Gwen Marcey, a forensic artist. I really
enjoyed those books. Apparently, Gwen is
taking a well-deserved rest.
Her new character, Murphy, has much to admire. I do admit to being a bit confused about what
exactly had happened to her in the past.
But perhaps another book will clear that up.
I enjoyed the suspense in this book. The plot moved along and had some twists that
really surprised me. Although the plot
was a bit gory, the writing was not.
The part about being a “soul searcher” was new to me and
although Murphy certainly demonstrated those traits, I found myself wondering
if this was a literary device or whether there is any proof of such a thing
existing.
Fans of Carrie Parks will enjoy this book and so will fans
of Christian suspense. I look forward to
her next book. I am grateful to the
publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
