Deception ⭐️
Claire is working on a case with her brother jack who is a detective. But Claire finds herself drawn deeper into the case when her friend ends up dead. Claire uses herself as bait of sorts to find out more and digs deeper into the case to avenge her friend.
So i liked this but also some parts were slow and dragged on. I liked that Claires friendship with her brother remained strong and the relationships were real but some areas i just wanted more action and drama.

I did not want to put this book down. Excellent exciting story. Love the protagonist! And the other characters as well. It was a fascinating twist to a murder mystery with illegal medical procedure. Always fun to read a book that is geographically in an area you know. I cannot wait to read Revenge next....starting tomorrow.

Deception by Sue Myers:
I enjoyed reading this spine-tingling mystery novel by Sue Myers. I liked roaming the streets of Chicago. Claire is a strong female character, yet sweet and caring. Could there be a budding romance? I highly recommend this book!

I enjoyed this book. It had an interesting plot. I hope to read future books with this same main character. There is room for more character development. I want to know more about the main characters.
