Three years ago Kate Marshall lost her husband and son in a boating accident. Her husband was found dead, without his life vest, but 4-year-old Kevin’s body was never recovered. As Kate tries to rebuild her life in her new hometown of St. Louis, she must cope with her double loss.
Until one day she believes she sees Kevin in the mall, asking for his favorite “poppysicle.”
Irene Hannon’s “Deceived” takes us on a fast-paced, heart-thumping, incredible journey as Kate convinces Connor Sullivan — a former Secret Service agent who now works for the private investigation firm Phoenix, Inc. — to take on her far-fetched, hard-to-believe case.
Both Kate and Connor learn important lessons and truths about themselves, and God, as he and his partners, former police detective Dev and former undercover ATF agent Cal, dig deeper and deeper into the mystifying case.
Hannon writes an incredible suspense thriller in this third installment of her “Private Justice” series. Readers will fall just as much in love with Connor as they did with Cal and Dev.
“Deceived” tackles some hard issues, such as domestic abuse, rare medical issues and their coverage by insurance companies, believing in oneself, no matter how far-fetched it may seem, and starting over after life’s difficulties — especially for women. It hits on the topics of guilt, revenge, secrets, honesty, forgiveness and setting priorities.
Another great book by Irene Hannon! Five stars out of five.
