Network of Deceit by Tom Threadgill

 

Books like this are why I love reading. Network of Deceit by Tom Threadgill was one of the best books I've read in a long time. Truly captivated me from the first page. I thought I liked Collision of Lies, but it pales in comparison to this one. We are reunited with detective Amara Alvarez as she leads the investigation on her own (her first case), going on a hunch that a teen's death is more than it seems. She puts herself in danger as she uncovers the puzzling truth. Lots of twists and turns and surprises. I like to read while I'm on the exercise bike and rarely does the time go as quickly as it did while reading this book. This is a clean read with some references to God, but not many. Well written, good suspense without being scary, good dialogue. Looking forward to many more adventures with Amara. 

About the book:

After her rescue of nearly fifty kidnapped children made international headlines, Amara Alvarez gets what she's worked for: a transfer to San Antonio's Homicide Division. Reality sets in quickly, though, as her first case, the suspicious death of a teenager at a crowded local water park, brings chaos to her personal life.

As the investigation moves forward and she increases the pressure on the suspects, Amara finds herself under attack by cybercriminals. Her every move is being potentially watched online, and she's forced to resort to unconventional methods to find the killer. With few leads, she fights to keep her first murder investigation from ending up in the cold case files.

Tom Threadgill is back with another riveting page-turner featuring the detective who is willing to put everything on the line to see that justice is served and lives are protected.
