About book Deadly Deceptions (2008)

Five and a half chapters into "Deadly Deceptions" by Linda Lael Miller and I am so in love with this book that:(a) I'm dreading finishing it, and(b) Hoping and praying there will be more in this series.Linda ... if you're out there ... I am not beneath grovelling!When I read and reviewed "Deadly Gamble" I said that although enjoyable, at times it felt like a Janet Evanovich knock-off. No more! "Deadly Deceptions" is "Deadly Gamble" grown up. And it's great! Although you can get enough background from "Deadly Deceptions" I would recommend reading the first in the series before picking up this book. "Deadly Deceptions" continues on about one week after the conclusion of "Deadly Gamble" and features the lovable, bumbling, hard-headed yet sensitive Mojo Sheepshanks, a PI who sees dead people!The story focuses around the murder of seven year old Gillian Pellway who made her appearance at the conclusion of "Deadly Gamble". Of course Mojo's life isn't as straightforward as solving Gillian's murder, she also has to contend with finding out who is blackmailing her sister, whether her brother in law is cheating plus the other ghosts that "pop in" unannounced. And then there's the complicated, sizzling and utterly gripping relationship with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Tucker. "Deadly Deceptions" has ensured that the Mojo Sheepshanks series by Linda Lael Miller will be considered "must-read" and I will be scrambling at bookstores when future books are released.

Surprisingly good. A lot more serious than a lot of her other books. Technically, probably due to the fact that the primary publisher of her books seem to be Harlequin, this books is categorized as 'Romantic Suspense'. But really, it is fiction or mystery. The main story lines revolve around trying to find the truth regarding deaths, blackmailers, and missing persons. The romance is a side story to all the rest. Silly to have categorized it, it limits the audience. Harlequin needs to branch out for a mystery division or give up the publishing rights so this series get exposed to the audience range it deserves. It really was quite good. 4.5*s

Do You like book Deadly Deceptions (2008)?

I really love this series of books. I can't wait for the third to come out after this one. Perhaps my favorite part about this and the first is that it focuses again on Mojo and Tucker, whereas most romance novels tend to do a couple a book. I really, really, enjoyed seeing their relationship develop again in this instalment. I also think that this kind of construction and charachter development makes the relationship itself seem more real world, despite the abundance of dead security gaurds and out of body experiences. Another hit for Linda!

Dit is het tweede deel in de Mojo reeks en het was weer heerlijk om tussen de geesten te zitten.Dit is echt een boek voor een paar uurtjes ontspanning en wat spanning.Ze eindigt haar boeken zo dat je graag het volgende deel wil gaan lezen maar helaas kan ik hier niks van terug vinden ook in het engels niet.Het is niet zo dat ik verder niks te lezen heb maar als je eenmaal een goed boek hebt wil ik daar meer van ken je dat gevoel?In ieders geval is dit boek voor mij weer een aan rader voor wie van wat geesten humor en spanning houd.

I did not realize that this book was part of a series when I picked it up. I've read other book by this author and remembered that I enjoyed them. This books was more memorable. Mojo can see dead people, which can be hepful to someone who is just starting a career as a Private Investigator. This series seems a little like a Stephanie Plum of the desert with the wacky relationships and the accidental way she solves crimes. Lots of humor mixed in. I look forward to reading more about her, Dave, Max, Tucker, and her sisters.Fast read, I finished it in one day.
