ABOUT DECEITJoanne Weeks is a skip tracer-someone who looks for deadbeats, a profession worth reading the book to learn more about-and knows that Baxter Jackson killed his wife, who was Joanne's best friend. The investigation stalls until Jackson's second wife turns up dead and frightening events begin to unfold in Joanne's life. Who is the man who jumps in front of her car on a rainy night? Why is he urging her to find Melissa Harkoff, a foster child long gone from the scene? Did someone break into Joanne's home? What does the Jacksons' foster daughter know about Linda Jackson's murder?

MY REVIEW
I have always enjoyed every book Brandilyn Collins has ever written and “Deceit” is one of the best. I was very surprised at the ending in this great book. I hate it when half way through a book I discover who the killer is, but this was a surprise to the very end.
This book takes place six years after Joanne’s best friend Linda dies. Joanne blames the death on her friend’s husband, Baxter because of the way he treated her. Then his second wife dies by an accident, but no one wants to look into it because Baxter is everyone’s favorite person in town.
“Deceit” starts out with a Hooded Man that shows up at night, in a thunderstorm, on a winding road, then to make it even better when Joanne finally makes it home after her confrontation with the Hooded Man, she thinks there is someone in her house. Then what makes it ever creepier is the electricity goes out. From the start to the finish “Deceit” will take you on an adrenaline rushing, action packed ride.
I highly recommend “Deceit” to all of my followers who love a great suspenseful, exciting book. This book is very hard to put down and you will read it at one time if you aren’t busy.
Love Brandilyn Collins books!
