A review by lucycatten
Tragic Deception by Linda S. Prather, M.A. Comley

4.0

Note: Do read Clever Deception, the novella that precedes this, before diving in...

Having devoured Clever Deception I couldn't wait to get my hands on this. Yet another brilliantly plotted, tightly woven story with a whole host of new characters to get to know. Alexandra Fox is proving a force to be reckoned with as she tackles a case that will either make or break her career across the pond in the US.

Feeling somewhat isolated and friendless (with only a few exceptions - two of which are her pets), and still with the incredibly real and personal threat of The Escape Artist hanging over her, she must locate three missing babies - without the help of the force - or lose her job. Where does she even start? I loved her 'failure is not an option' attitude and was practically cheering as she discovers she isn't as alone as she thinks she is.

An astonishingly good read. Here's hoping we don't have to wait long for the next one...
