Although I have never read a novel by Tom Threadgill before Network of Deceit, by its end I am confident that it won\u2019t be my last one. In fact, if my TBR stack were already not so tall, I would be picking up a copy of Collision of Lies immediately. It is definitely on my future reads list.<\/p>\n
Although considered Christian fiction, Network of Deceit is not overtly so but it is what most would consider a clean read. This book would probably be a good one to share with non-Christian friends who enjoy a good detective tale.<\/p>\n
It is rare to read a novel with a female protagonist that is written by a male author but Mr. Threadgill managed to present Amara\u2019s viewpoint quite well. Her love for her family and her tendency to get too involved in her cases made her come to life on the pages. Strong and mostly likeable characters and a steady plot provided a backbone for the story that held my interest all the way through. Several plot twists and surprises kept me guessing\u00a0 and one final surprise came out of the blue.<\/p>\n
I thoroughly enjoyed following Amara\u2019s steps as she gathered clues for a suspicious death that \u201cmight\u201d be a homicide. Her interactions with her fellow detective and possible love interest Starsky often added welcome humor to the story. I learned a few interesting things I didn\u2019t know concerning gaming, hackers, and ransomware.<\/p>\n
