Very good suspense
5 out of 5 stars
Virginiaw - 4 years ago
This is the second book in this series and I think even better than the first. I really like Amara and Starsky. There is a lot of suspense and we get some romance. I enjoyed the computer stuff a lot. Amara has her first case in Homicide and it is interesting to see how she goes about solving this case. We also learn a lot more about her family. This has a lot of twists and turns. I received a copy of this book from Revell for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
Great Suspense!

Looking for an action-filled, high-paced novel with a strong female as the main character? Network of Deceit starts out with a bang and it never lets up as we once again see Detective Amara Alvarez at work! Amara is now a detective with the San Antonio Homicide Division and her investigation of a teenager's death turns into a look at cybercrime and its toll on society. Author Tom Threadgill shares another glimpse of this multi-faceted detective with the ability to see beyond the obvious and think outside the box! And then there's Detective Jeremiah "Starsky" Peckham! Will these two detectives discover that there's more to their relationship than a working partnership? Network of Deceit is a clean read, with lots of twists and turns and an "I didn't see that coming" ending. I'm looking forward to more adventures with this intriguing female protagonist! I received a copy of this book from Revell. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts!
SUSPENSEFUL!

Network of Deceit by Tom Threadgill is the second book in his Amara Alvarez series. This is the continuing story of Amara Alvarez, now a San Antonio Homicide detective. Her first case is the suspicious death of a teenager at a local water park. But things are not what they seem. I haven’t read the first book, but this one can be read as a stand-alone. There are references to Amara’s first case but it doesn’t have to be read before this one. I liked the camaraderie between Amara and Starsky. The suspense level kept you turning the pages to find out how Amara was going to figure everything out. The twist at the end was very unexpected! I received this book from the publisher for my honest review.
Majorly Suspenseful

Thumbs up graphic, would recommend

“Network of Deceit” is the sequel to “Collision of Lies”. While I would recommend you read that one first, I do not feel it is necessary to be able to follow this one. If you like romantic suspense and are not sure if you will like this one because it is considered just suspense, then I think you should still give it a try anyway. Tom Threadgill does not disappoint when it comes to the suspense in his books which keeps you so busy trying to figure everything out that you do not miss the romance. There are several things going on in “Network of Deceit” that keep you guessing the whole way through the book. Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in order to give an honest review.
Solid Suspense
4 out of 5 stars

Fast paced-suspense glued this book to my hand until the very end. Once again, we're back with Amara Alvarez and the San Antonio PD. This character makes her first appearance in an earlier book, Collision of Lies, but Network of Deceit can be read as a stand-alone, though I'd highly recommend grabbing the first book if you enjoy suspense-totally worth it. After the death of a teenage boy at a waterpark turns suspicious, Detective Alvarez finds herself caught in a deadly game of cybercrime. I enjoyed the plot and the unfolding investigation. I'm a huge fan of Starsky and appreciate the authentic way Mr. Threadgill is developing their relationship. The added personal element of Amara's family dynamic adds another level of character development that drive the emotional impact of the story. There's a very, very subtle faith element in this story that left me wanting a little more. I'd recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good suspense story with a solid mystery. ***I received a copy of this story from the publisher. I was not required to give a positive review and all opinions are my own.***
Fabulous Crime Novel!

"You think he was already dead when he went in the water." "No Detective. I'm certain of it." And just like that, Amara Alvarez lands her first investigation as a newly promoted homicide detective. It's a curious set of circumstances for many reasons. Who would choose to kill someone inside a water park on a hot summer day, then float his body down a lazy river? The young victim had no known enemies, came from an upstanding family, and had no criminal record. Plus, if he died by natural causes, why were there so many convenient security glitches at the park that afternoon . . . . all questions that Amara is determined to answer. However, she never expected to have to watch her own back when it becomes obvious that someone is following her every move. If you enjoy page turning criminal suspense, this book checks off every box; great characters, fascinating clues, red herrings, pitch perfect pacing, . . . . . . and best of all, the author makes what could be mind numbing technology issues fairly easy to understand. The pages read so smoothly that I was both shocked and disappointed when the ending arrived . . . .. or had it? Prepare yourself for one final twist and turn. I received a copy of this book from the publisher. The opinions stated above are entirely my own.
