Network of Deceit by Tom Threadgill Book Review

 

Rescuing 50 kidnapped kids earned Amara Alvarez the transfer she sought---to San Antonio's homicide division. But her first case plunges her into the world of computer hackers, and her personal life is under attack as she's cyber-stalked by the killer. Can she utilize unconventional methods to solve the crime, or will she become a cold case? 

My Thoughts:

This is the 2^nd book in the series. Even thought I didn’t read the first book, Collision of Lies the book can be read as a standalone. There are a few references that are from the first book. It didn’t take away from this book.

This is also the first book that I have read by author Tom Threadgill. I liked that the book wasn’t full of fluff and the case was very realistic. This is something that can really happen in our technological world with ransom ware.  

The characters are well developed and likable. They had real emotions and strong characters despite the event going on in the case and personal issues. I really liked Alvarez’s character.

The book kept me in suspense for most of the book trying to figure out who did it. It wasn’t till a few clues came together that I figured it out towards the end of the book. At some points the story dragged along building up the plot. It wasn’t too bad that I wanted to put the book down. The story was interesting and keep be intrigued to the end.

I look forward to more books from Tom Threadgill in the future.
