A Deceptive Composition by Anna Lee Huber
5.0
Everything that deceives may be said to enchant - Plato
Kiera, Sebastian, and his father all travel to the rugged landscape of Cornwall on behest of an estranged family member's request to investigate the alleged murder of Branok Roscarrack, head of the smuggling operation in their family and uncle to Keira's father in law Lord Gage. Upon arrival, it is evident that there is more to the story...and the same family is in on it. Just as Keira and Sebastian are realizing they were lured to the Cornish shore under false pretenses, a more sinister plot emerges that has them fighting to survive.
I ate this one up! We finally get to delve into Lord Gage's mysterious past and ties to his criminal family. A tragic incident that led to Lord Gage leaving Cornwall, comes back into play in the plot. Seeing him struggle with his demons and guilt, Keira consoling him, and Sebastian finally being able to have open conversations with his father, was both endearing and heartfelt.
Lost Portuguese treasure, two warring coastal families, vendettas and greed..all while being a new mom, Keira has had an adventure in this one.
It's hinted that we're getting an art-related mystery next. It's going to be very enjoyable seeing Keira in her element!
