Network of Deceit Book Tour
“Human nature is
your best friend and your worst enemy.”
Detective Amara Alvarez lands her first case after being
granted a transfer to the San Antonio Police Department. Unfortunately, while trying to solve this
first case, her personal life is impacted in more ways than she could imagine.
This was my first read by the author and it opened strong. I
was engaged from the onset. The story – I believe- picks up shortly after Collision
of Lies ends.
While I would not mind going back to read book one to get a little
backstory on Amara, Starsky, and a few other characters, this book stands on its
own. The author does a good job of providing the reader with enough tidbits
from book one so that you are not lost.
I think the story moved well and created a good amount of
tension as Amara attempts to solve this case while battling personal things on
the home front. Unforeseen forces are wreaking havoc on her personal life, but
she does not allow it to deter her from pushing forward to get her man, woman
or…well you’ll have to read it to find out.
Rage-quit -angrily
abandon an activity or pursuit that has become frustrating
I think the author delivered a solid plot with interesting and
relatable characters. I think that Threadgill did a convincing job of capturing
the strength of a woman in her position as well as her vulnerability. I enjoyed
the drama. I enjoyed the humor. I liked that the author did not rely on unnecessary
gratuitous sex. I loved the buildup of “whodunnit?” I loved that unconventional methods were employed to aid in solving
the crime. I think that was my favorite part. I won’t spoil it, but it was
genius.
There’s nothing
worse than losing your anonymity… Being alone was far worse.
I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys criminal
thrillers with a couple of twists and some humor.

Great review, and it's always good to know when a book stands alone in a series so we can jump in here. Thanks for sharing!
