Deceived

by James Scott Bell
Hennepin County, paperback, 327 pages
genre: Christian mystery / adventure / relationships

This book had its good points and bad points. I don't like it when writers start by introducing a dozen different people in a handful of scenarios in the first ten pages. I actually made a "cheat sheet" to keep track of the characters and their situations. Arty is one of the most important characters in the story, even though he falls off a cliff in the first chapter and . . . well, no spoiler alerts here. Mac was my favorite character - I like how he kept working out his faith even when it was really hard. Our discussion tonight was good, but we were frustrated by a lot of unanswered questions.

What exactly happened when Liz pulled the trigger in the graveyard?
How did Mac's position with his daughter and ex finally turn out? (Did he actually just walk away from her and not seek to see her ever again?)
What happens with Rocky?

An enjoyable and action-packed enough book . . . I won't be seeking out this author's other titles.
