Deceived by Irene Hannon – A Book Review
Irene
Hannon is not a new author, but she is a new-to-me author. I will be looking for more of her books in
the future. Deceived is the third
book in her Private Justice series, so books one and two in the series would be
a good place for me to go next, although this book read well as a stand-alone
novel. It was very easy to follow
without having the benefit of having read the first two.
Someone
recently asked on Facebook if it was even possible for Irene Hannon to write a
bad book. Well, if Deceived is
any indication, the answer is a resounding NO!!! The blurb on the back leads readers unfamiliar
with Hannon’s writing thinking the book will follow a very predictable
storyline, but the additional comment, one
that I didn’t attend to prior to reading the book, which referred to unexpected
twists and a riveting plotline was quite
accurate. Repeatedly I found myself
questioning which way the author was going to go, and leaving many things
undone as I was compelled to read on and find out.
Kate
Marshall is finally turning her life back on again after losing both her
husband and son in a boating accident.
She has moved halfway across the country for a fresh start, when a
chance encounter with a familiar-looking boy asking for a poppysicle turned her
life upside down. She turns to former
Secret Service agent turned private investigator, Connor Sullivan, to help her
decide is she is going crazy or if the impossible might just be possible. On the path to find the answer help comes
from unexpected sources, and danger increases as does hope. Kate exemplifies what it means to trust and
respect God’s sovereignty even when there is the possibility that it might contradict
something about which you are passionate.
I thank Revell
Publishers and Christian Fiction Blog Alliance for providing Deceived
for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary
compensation for a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are
strictly my own.
