Lost Tears
A dead girl. Missing gems. Buried treasures.
Dayna comes home under protest. If her aunt hadn't guilted her, she never would have come to see her ill mother. Their relationship has never been good. At her father's request, Dayna agrees to search into her mom's past. A past that is nothing like she imagined—religious zealots, a dead girl, and on her own at age sixteen. They help to give a clearer picture as to why her mom might have chosen the bottle but it doesn’t tell her who the people are or why someone is still trying to hide a forty-year-old death.
Tanner, an undercover police officer, has been asked, off the books, to do some sleuthing for stolen treasures. Walking the fine line of doing what he was trained to do, and keeping it legal, is keeping him on his toes and it turns out running for his life. What he has gotten involved in is way bigger than he imagined.
Dayna meets Tanner in the most unlikely ways but it soon comes to light that although they are working on different cases, their situations are very much connected. Working together, they soon find that trying to do right by a dead girl, dodging bullets, and solve who is behind it all, are keeping them on the run.
Can they identify the girl? And her killer, before he succeeds again?
Joan grew up in a Foster Home run by Mrs. Stephanos. Now, thirty-five years later, the bauble she played with as a child, has arrived. And it is worth over a million dollars. She is one of the final foster sisters to receive her jewelry. But who is sending them out? And what is their end game?
Lost Tears is book 4 in The Twisted Deception Suspense Thriller Mystery Series. All books in the series have standalone stories. But the story running in the background, the story that connects all the books, will keep you reading. Who is behind sending out the gems and what is their end game? An engaging thriller mystery with some interesting twists. Enjoy!

I love every book in this Twisted Deception series. Lost tears to date is the best of them all.
Mentions of the character and some story lines of the previous books is a great reminder of things that may of slipped from your mind.
The suspense just keeps building with every page, especially after Dayna and Tanner meet.
Can’t wait for the next book in this series.

Maggie writes compelling and interesting books; no bad reads. The characters in this one are really good and fun. They are caught up in a very twisted tale around the gems and their sisterhood. But without so much emphasis on the individual jewels. There are several new characters with different origins and backgrounds. As usual Maggie does a superb job weaving it all in a story the reader can't put down.

This is a very good book. I think this could be number one so far, be interesting to see how it all comes together and the plot unfolds. Cannot wait to find out. Highly recommended.

Exciting Book
I loved every twist and turn. Just when I thought things were going to go someone’s way, the story twisted and went the opposite direction.
