Book Review - Deception by Patricia Bradley

 


Madison Thorn had to kill an FBI agent who went rogue. He was threatening her mission and she had no choice but, to kill him. She decided she no longer wants to work in violent crimes and made a move to the fraud and cyber division instead. She likes working with numbers as they do not lie. However, when a white collar crime turns violent, Madison is forced to work with a childhood nemesis, park ranger Clayton Bradshaw.

A woman who looks like Madison is attacked the same night Madison's grandfather is shot. Madison fears that something bigger is going on and that she might be in danger.  Will Madison and Clayton be able to work together to figure out the truth?

I thought this was an okay read. I didn't really like any of the characters and had a hard time bonding with them. They felt flat and two-dimensional.  I felt like the book also had too many characters and side plots. I felt that this detracted from the original story and made it hard to lose focus and trying to remember what was going on. Perhaps, this would have been better if it was a movie as it would be easier to keep track of things in that format but, in a book format it was just too confusing and eventually, boring.
