I called in sick....

so I could stay home in my favorite jammies and keep reading. Laura's difficult choice recalled events in my life, consequences I've had to live with. The outcome of her decision and the turmoil that followed drew me into the pursuit of Laura's killer. Equally enticing is the determination of Detective Kierzek as he searches for the truth. This deception will make you want to stay home too.

"Deception in the Rainshadows" is a Great Read!

Riley St. James did it again with. His first book, "In the Shadow of the MoonGlades" was great. However, he has surpassed its excellence with "Deception in the Rainshadows". The story was masterfully put together and kept me in suspense until the very end. I judge a book according to whether or not I am able to put it down once I begin reading. "Deception" was a winner. Thank you, Riley St. James. I can hardly wait for your next book!

Impossible to put down!

I started reading this book on a Saturday afternoon and, regretfully, put it down when I couldn't stay awake any longer. The author draws you into the story so completely that all else is forgotten. The characters seem like people you know and the plot is captivating. I was very impressed. There actually are clues to the ending, unlike other mysteries I've read. Although it's difficult, you CAN figure this one out if you recognize the clues. That made it more fun for me, to solve the mystery along with Detective Kierzek. You just have to read it, period.

Great characters, great plot, GREAT READ!

As in Moonglade the characters become a part of your family. The twists and turns come at strategically spaced intervals, you don't want to stop reading. Just like Moonglade I could not even think of putting it down until I was done. Thanks Riley for your refreshing story telling.

a mystery not to be missed

After reading the authors first novel,"In the Shadows of the Moonglade", I've eagerly awaited his next book. "Deception" is well worth the wait. A beautifully written and gripping mystery, I was quickly drawn into the plot and the lives of the characters, especially that of Detective Kierzek, an excellent cop and truly decent man. I hope to see more of him in future books. This is a story that will keep readers hanging on, guessing and gasping, 'til the last page.
