I’m part of the tour for Deceit by Casey King. Thanks to Jill Burkinshaw of Books ‘n’ All Promotions and Joffe Books for the gifted ebook to write my honest review.
If you love Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers, don’t miss Casey King’s absolutely gripping and gritty crime thriller about betrayal, revenge and family secrets.
It’s a story as old as time. Girl meets boy. Their marriage promises peace between their feuding families. Then it all falls apart.
TEN YEARS AGO SOMEONE TRIED TO KILL HER.
Danielle Lewis’s marriage to Jason Flynn brings together two warring Dublin crime families. It should be a joyous union.
But someone tries to take her life.
Danielle survives the shooting but loses her unborn son. She can’t prove it, but she knows her shooting is related to the crime that both families trade in. Then Jason cheats on her, just when she needs him most. And Danielle has had it.
She leaves Dublin and her family behind.
NOW SHE’S BACK. AND SHE WANTS ANSWERS.
After ten long years living in exile in London, Danielle returns.
Her homecoming threatens the uneasy truce that has existed between the Lewises and the Flynns ever since she left.
Danielle is willing to do what whatever it takes if it means finding out the truth.
But what she discovers changes everything.
WHO TRIED TO KILL HER, AND WHY?
Fans of Kerry Kaya, Kimberley Chambers, Emmy Ellis, Emma Tallon, Caz Finlay and Martina Cole, get ready for the first novel in an explosive new gangland crime series packed with twists, turns and deceit.
A brand new author with the first book in a gritty gangland series! Deceit was calling my name as soon as I saw the blurb for this book. I started reading Deceit with no expectations and hoped I would find another favourite gangland author. All ‘I can say is, I did!
Set in Southern Ireland, we are introduced to Danielle Lewis. After being shot, losing her unborn baby and the policeman who tried to save her shot dead. She has returned to find out who issued the order. Being a member of a gangland family has its secrets, and with Danielle’s return, a chain of events begins. There is someone who doesn’t want Danielle discovering who ordered the hit. The question is, are they closer than she thinks? Will she find out who caused her so much sorrow?
What a debut! A gritty gangland story always grips me. This did just that. I was so excited to see how it was going to work out. It was so twisty and such an addictive book. I always revel in the machinations of gangland families, and Deceit ticked every box for a cracker of a gangland crime read.
As the pages almost turned themselves, I realised I was at the end of the book. I didn’t want to leave the characters. I am looking forward to the next book in this series. I can see this series being my new addiction!
