"Double Cross—which chronicles the events and the people involved in the campaign of deception without which the D-Day invasion could not have succeeded—is a triumph of meticulous research and gifted story telling. If you have any interest in espionage in particular or twentieth century history in general, it would be a crime not to read this book."

Bebris really starts to hit her stride with this instalment. The first books were entertaining enough, but rereading, I see that The Intrigue at Highbury and the following book, The Deception at Lyme, really are of a higher standard, better plotted and more involving than the earlier books. I hope that when The Suspicions at Sandition is available in paperback that the standard will have been maintained.

"Poetic and oh-so-funky, Orson Welles’s filmic essay on deception has balls of experimental steel. Cobbled together in his later years of European exile, it’s both a cheeky thesis on the nature of fakery and the best example I can imagine of filmmaking as giddy, childlike play. Now if someone would only do a decent DVD of The Trial, we’d be in business. (Nudge, nudge.)"

Triangle of Deception

Book Rating
Triangle of Deception is one of those sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat books. It’s book four of a series but it makes a wonderful standalone. I don’t want to say too much for fear of giving anything away! Fast paced, energetic, and exciting, this is one that any crime-thriller lover won’t want to miss.

Nicky Whelan is cast perfectly and puts in a convincing performance (2 more)
The storyline is somewhat believable - anyone with kids can relate to parts of it
It improves over time after a sluggish start
Why cast Nicholas Cage as an almost completely generic father? (3 more)
Big plot holes
Weak twist
Some very wooden acting from support cast, especially Natalie Eva Marie
An intriguing enough tale of deception let down through poor execution
