Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2072 KP) rated Not a Girl Detective (A Cece Caruso Mystery, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Cece is speaking to a Nancy Drew collectors meeting about Carolyn Keene and the authors who really wrote under that name. However, between a rash of vandalism and a dead body, she's found herself in a mystery that would make the teen detective proud. I found some of the collectors over the top and the pacing a little off, but on the whole I still enjoyed this book.

Plot twist
Dark
Excellent detective
The death of a woman in a bath tub starts the story off and it unravels from then. The secrets really dont stay buried.
Kim Stone is a phenomenal detective, very believable and this first case really hits home. The plot is dark and twisted, it has you on tenter hooks wondering who done it throughout. The list of suspects is long but the writing enables you to follow along well.
Really didnt see the twist at the end after all the drama.

Story/plot
East meets west
Thrown together in an East meets West scenario that puts Chinese detective Lee (Jackie Chan) in a perfectly bizzare pair up with loud mouthed, over eccentric, flirtatious comedy cop detective Carter (Chris Tucker).
With its explosive action, quirky humour rush hour has aged brilliantly that see's the duo awkwardly enter a cat and mouse game as they work together in order to track down a Chinese criminal who's kidnapped the daughter of a Chinese consul.
WAR! what is it good for?.....

Great Deductive Reasoning
Detective Amara Alvarez from the SAPD (San Antonio Police Department) Homicide brings us a great new case in Network of Deceit. From the first page, I was hooked on this story. I was a big fan of Collision of Lies the first book in this stand-alone series, for the character development Tom Threadgill uses, and how he walks us through the case just as if we were there asking the questions to figure out the case right along Detective Alvarez. Detective Alvarez has a light sense of humor, and she is a bit of a quirky character take this for instance: “[Detective Alvarez] heading home to Larry, her three-foot-long pet iguana”. I also love Tom Threadgill’s use of dry sarcastic humor and wit in the conversations between Detective Alvarez and Detective Jeremiah “Starsky” Peckham is it fun to read and adds another layer to the story.
This particular case was rife with speculation, suspense, and unanswered questions that left me guessing until the end. A true mystery in every sense of the word. We are shown every step in the case and it is not tv fast paced, it is realistic. Tom Threadgill gives accurate timelines for the turnaround on things like autopsy reports and toxicology reports, unlike most tv shows. I also really enjoyed the cybercrime aspects of the story and I thought that it was explained in an easy-to-understand way for anyone, even if you do not have any previous knowledge of cybercrimes.
I would suggest that you go back and read Collision of Lies before this one as it gives you more background on the characters and you would have a better understanding of the case the previous book covers that is mentioned a few times in this one. But this one can be read as a stand-alone since the whole case is started and wrapped up in this book. Overall, I truly loved this book, and the way Tom Threadgill moved the case along, and I am looking forward to what other adventures that Detective Alvarez takes me on. 5 out of 5 stars.
