I only read this book because it promised groundbreaking 9/11 information. Like its prequel, Methodical Illusion, it is a chick lit romance with an undercurrent of conservative propaganda and about 10% information about 9/11 that I didn't already know. I did learn a few things about the airplane procedures, flight paths, an airbase, and certain agents that I was able to partly confirm. It did change my perspective on who may have done what, but still left plenty of unanswered questions. For most people, it isn't that the information can get you killed, it's that it is politically incorrect to say who did it (it was not 19 Arab hijackers). This book adds more to the mountain of circumstantial evidence pointing in that direction. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to plunge further down the rabbit hole. It has become an important read to those immersed in the controversy about 9/11.

Learn about what really happened on September 11th. Research the MITRE Corporation. Hold people accountable. The fictional backstory to this exposé on the cover-up is ok...but I skimmed through those details to get to the meat of the information. Fascinating.

I realise the author has to be careful re being too authentic but this book had excessive fluff for me...looking forward to the third book though.

5 for research and materials about 9/11 that I have never seen all accumulated in one spot.
I'd give her more than a 5 if I could.

3 (which is probably generous) for plot, style, editing, grammar, etc.

Roth's strength is in meticulous exposure of facts. That works against any ability to embellish facts or add characters, events, and details. A researcher who wants truth and honesty is rarely suited to exaggeration, emotionalism and fiction.

I have read the entire series and this review will apply to the series rather than to an individual book. I think it is necessary to read these books in the series in order.

But after I listened to her describe the inconsistencies that she saw in the actions aboard the "hijacked" planes through the eyes of a flight attendant, I realized that this woman had done some research on aspects of this event that had never really been investigated before.

I have long been concerned about inconsistencies in the 9/11 events. So many questions were never answered ... the mass media refused to report on them. So many lies were told in an attempt to deceive the world. So many things did not make sense, like Building 7 collapsing and exploding in the same method as the twin towers, but without being struck by any airplane while Flight 93 did not seem to have a specified (or logical) destination. But these 2 events are put together in a scenario that finally makes sense.

There are hundreds of puzzle pieces that Roth puts together. She does not speculate. She has meticulously (and almost miraculously) obtained actual records of flights, radar reports, phone calls, military planes, radio transmissions, remote capability to take over flights, software back doors, Brady bonds, gold movement from the vaults in the twin towers, passenger manifests, employee records, passenger histories, stolen identities used for the alleged 19 hijackers, witness reports, a video viewing of the missile entering the Pentagon, evidence of thermite and nanothermite at Ground Zero, and so much more. She also has attracted many witnesses and whistleblowers who each add a small but important part to the story. She has also attracted experts who had the understanding that the explanations given were impossible but not the evidence to prove it. She provided the evidence.

She puts together these pieces in a logical way and comes to very realistic but disturbing conclusions. She has proof of falsified reports indicating that times were changed on reports. In many cases, events like buildings being struck or planes crashing were reported before they actually happened which seemed to indicate a plan which was not going according to schedule. There were 6 planes intended in the attack. One of them was delayed at the airport and the attack cancelled. For all of these scenarios she had proof from actual records. She managed to get a few terrabytes of information under the Freedom of Information Act which I think the government was not aware of being released. It is suggested that this information was provided to her by a whistleblower.

For example, most people do not realize that simultaneously on Sept 11 there was a war game going on in the US which affected radar. Planes were in the air which were capable of overriding radar, of making planes disappear or appear on radar at whatever location suited the "plan". But there were enough witnesses and hard copy flight information to determine the actual landing locations of the planes that were really replaced by missiles, the planes that took the passengers to Spain with new identities and those that took the bodies of other passengers of these planes to another base for disposal (cremation). I have seen videos on other sources that seem to show a missile covered by a hologram entering the twin towers. It was obvious that it was a hologram because the hologram "image" was weakening around the edges, apparently a common problem with holograms..

She traces back the beginning of the 9/11 plan to years in the making, through many Presidential terms. Her evidence can make you question your perception of who was really behind 9/11. She asks who benefited from this attack (definitely not Osama bin Laden); she gives financial information to answer that question; and she casts doubt on the guilt of those who were so readily blamed for this event. (I am Caucasian, Canadian, female, a senior ... I did not believe that Timothy McVeigh destroyed the Federal Building in Oklahoma City by himself, but he did make a convenient patsy. But I did naively believe the terrorist story we were told of Sept 11 ... of inexperienced pilots accomplishing impossible maneuvers ... until it no longer made sense, and to me these men were patsies.) She shows the proliferation of training camps for terrorists on American soil paid for by the CIA which provide them with people easily manipulated and easy to blame for domestic terrorism while hiding the CIA's own involvement. She does not expose only the CIA, but also the FBI, the JCOS, the Pentagon, the banks, etc. in trafficking, money laundering, manipulation of securities, overthrowing foreign governments, initiating wars, etc.

If you want some of the most thorough research into 9/11 that I have ever seen (I have read dozens of books about 9/11), I would recommend watching Roth's presentations on Youtube.

Roth tried to write novels in which she would put all this information in a supposedly fictional form. The novel is not, in my opinion, a thriller. It is not dramatic. I am used to Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler.

But the research is phenomenal. She is an articulate speaker who holds the interest of her audience. I know this is supposed to be a book review. But the credibility of the research is diminished by being presented in fictional form ... this does not happen with well footnoted research presented as fact.

If you are going to read these books, I would recommend that you listen to some of her interviews first.

Her research is probably some of the most important research on 9/11 ever presented because she has consolidated the information from associations of pilots, airline employees, architects, scientists, the military, etc. into one complete picture.

If this research had been available, I would not have read so many other books on 9/11 looking for the truth.

Watch Roth or read her books. You might never be the same again.

Disclaimer copied from the first book in the series I reviewed: Like everyone at the time, I watched the attacks on 9/11 and my opinions were formed by what I/we saw on television news coverages and special reports also broadcasted on the television networks. Therefore, I believed the media and government’s narrative as it played out on television. Over time, I was introduced to alternate facts and opinions that caused me to rethink the events of 9/11. I add this just so you can put into context what I am about to say about Ms. Roth’s second of four books.

Like Methodical Illusion, the first of four Rebekah Roth’s books, I was unable to put Methodical Deception down. Be warned ahead of time, if you decide to read it and you are anywhere near like me, you may want to put some time on your calendar to do so. Yes, it is that good! In fact, The Deception book is even better than the Illusion book.

Methodical Deception is a very riveting read. Like the first book it is a combination of fiction and fact. There are times when it is difficult to separate the two because you get so wrapped up in the fiction part of the story being told. As I read it, I realized how easily the story part of the book could be converted into a mini-series on television or multiple movies leaving the viewer, just the reader, clamoring for more. This book introduced three more characters and developed the relationships between all of the characters. Dangerous intrigue was introduced but the good part is that the reader is rewarded in that the drama is brought to a conclusion at the end of the book and not spaced out into Roth’s book three of the series. Evidence is provided at the end of the book so you can draw your own conclusions.

As stated above, I initially believed the 9/11 narrative as put forth on television news. At the time I failed to pick up on the fact that every news coverage said the exact same thing. I know what I saw on the television screen but the shock of the events that followed clouded my judgement when it came to believing what I was being told versus what I was actually seeing. It was not until years later when someone pointed out (1) how the twin towers each collapsed upon their own footprints exactly like a building would that was being intentionally demolished with explosives and then (2) how building 7 collapsed 8 hours after the Twin Towers collapsed and without any physical evidence that the building had been hit by either a plane or any of the following debris from the towers. Building 7 also collapsed upon its own footprint like all other buildings that are intentionally demolished with the use of explosives.

The author, Ms. Roth, had been a Flight Attendant and Flight Purser for over 30 years. Therefore, she has significant insight in commercial air flights and passenger controls. She began to ask questions. She raised those questions during the interview that I listened to. I had some of the same questions but had no answers. She laid out answers based on her over 30 years of experience and her answers JUST MADE PERFECT SENSE! What she said she thought had REALLY happened was so over the top and so shocking, it was hard to digest at first. But as I considered her answers and suggestions when compared to the facts she put forth, I had to admit that her explanation of 9/11 made the attack far more believable than what we have been told by the news media and our government.

This book weaves those same questions and her answers into a fictious plot that is as stated above, riveting to read. Like the first book, I read it in less than 24 hours meaning I read it as close to a one-sitting-reading as possible.

Would I read this book again: Parts of it, DEFINITELY!
Would I give this book as a gift: ABSOLUTELY
Who should read this book: Everyone, but especially those who believe the news media narrative of 9/11 without question. This book WILL make you question what REALLY happened, why it happened and your beliefs to this point in time that you have been taught to believe!

Be sure to view the documents at the appendix of this book!!

Please let this book written as fiction open your eyes to the fact that it is possible 9/11 was perpetrated by traitors to this country and that evil exists to this day and must be eliminated or this country is doomed.

The first book was full of typos, and although the author apparently acquired the services of an editor, I still noticed a few typos. The plot is thin, the character development is thin, and the book likely appeals more to old-fashioned, highly idealist, romantically-inclined women than men. The two main characters barely more than kissed each other shyly than boom! - they were married. Not too realistic nowadays. I expected much more 9/11 information from this second book, but was very disappointed when most of the information is common knowledge can already be found online.

I would recommend this book to romantic women who know little about the cleverly designed 9/11 fraud, although whoever designed and orchestrated it left some gaping holes, that cannot be explained away.

Great series!

This is book #2 of the series, and although it is written as a novel, there is startling information concerning 9/11. Vera is back along with Jim and Max to solve the murder of almost 3000 people on September 11, 2001.
I bought book 3 yesterday and looking forward to starting it soon

Fiction with hidden truth

I liked this 2nd part of a 3 part series as it tells the truth about September 11, 2001, and what many know to be true but won't admit. Ms. Roth is a good writer and her ability to write this work tells the matter as it should be, not how the left-right paradigm expect us to believe.

Difficult to comment on this book. And I don't know how many stars to give
The author has done good work in attempting to uncover the truth about 9-11. On a number of podcasts she beautifully clearly outlines a very possible scenario involving substitution of drones for the hijack planes shortly after takeoff with the planes landed at a nearby military air base where selected passengers are persuaded or coerced into reading prepared scripts into their cell phones implicating Arabs (in one case an Iranian). There are issues with the timing. But her account is just about possible. In fact I believe it is close to truth. Which is, if course, if massive significance..The phone calls could not have been made by cell phones at altitude and their details include all sorts of anomalies and issues.
It's true that she sounds most convincing as long as she controls the dialogue.
A few key parts of the story are revealed in the latter part of this book.
The problem here is that most of the book consists of completely awful romantic fiction which has no real relation to the substantive issues and is essentially unreadable.

Good Guys Win

This is the second book in the series about the TRUTH of 9-11. An amazing story of how the Good Guys win. Superbly detailed and riveting which will cause sleepless nights as the book is a real page turner.

Like for the info

Four stars for the info (and documents at the end of the book). The storyline has to be there, I suppose... but part of me would rather just have all the info without the fluff. I'm sure a book like that wouldn't ever be allowed to be published though.

The first of these books told a lot about the author's theory of 9-11. This one added just a little to the theory. It was mostly a romance, with lots of info on how the "good guys" logistically evaded the "Octopus" bad guys.

Every American should read what really happened on 9-11 in NYC and be aware of our out of control corrupt gov't agencies that control our country. Make sure Roth's other two books are read as well.

Having read the first instalment I was prepared for the typos, awkward dialogue and completely ludicrous yet practically non-existent plot, and decided to persevere through the pages (and pages and pages) about the dog and dresses and dinners. I did so because I was interested in the author's (alleged) investigations. I really wish I hadn't bothered.

9/11 solved & proven to be Israeli/Zionist attack on U.S. With U.S. Govt assistance!

If you are still in denial, you MUST read this and it's companion book to learn how this hoax was done, then wonder how the passengers were really murdered.
