In the Midst of Deceit

by Deborah M. Piccurelli

This romance/suspense novel leads you into a world of love, greed, and death. Slade Mitchell is plummeting toward earth. He knows that he will probably die from the fall. Just a few days ago, he stumbled across evidence that someone in his firm has been embezzling money, but this disaster unfolds so rapidly that all he can register is shock and horror. As a partner in a financial management firm, Slade Mitchell is extremely protective of the company’s reputation. However, after receiving a perplexing phone call and discovering a mysterious computer file, Slade begins to wonder about the company’s integrity. Now, someone wants him out of the way—permanently! Feeling abandoned by his partners and friends, Slade plunges into a deep sea of insecurity and loneliness. But his beautiful neighbor (Stasi Courtland), from whom he’d endeavored to distance himself, though at the same time feels drawn to, offers solace, friendship and encouragement. Now, Slade and Stasi must work together to quickly find those who are attempting to kill him before it’s too late!

IN THE MIDST OF DECEIT
By Deborah M. Piccurelli

REVIEW:

This book was fabulous ! I literally could not put it down !

This was my first book to read by Deborah Piccurelli, but I know it won't be my last ! The issue of believers being “unequally yoked” with unbelievers is an important issue not discussed nearly enough. It was very eloquently in the midst of a great suspense story !

The spiritual tone of the book overall was strong from the very beginning to its ending.
However, it is not so obvious by the description on the back cover, which is a shame. This error can cause a reader to put the book down and lose out on a great book !

The character are fantastic ! They are realistic and the expressions and dialog fit them to a tee.
The plot was an interesting one, and the way the author connected the main characters ocupatons was brilliant. Otherthan a “too obvious” hint at who the villian is, this was a fantasically written novel. I, for one am looking forward to this author's next book !
