Patty Henderson's "The Gift of Deception" is a surprisingly thrilling romance. Told in the first person, we identify closely with the main character, Maggie Watson. From the first, she is easy to sympathize with; who couldn't identify with someone who pays such close attention to their cat?
Pondering her place in Nickel Town, Texas, and reflecting with some regret on her last love interest Tom Anderson, Maggie's life seems enviously settled and wonderful.
That is, right until the dozen roses arrive, portent of the unpredictable to come (and painful reminder of a life - and a self- she had thought part of her past.)
Deputy Johnson, handsome, blue-eyed Deputy Johnson arrives on the scene in a very timely way, maybe a bit too timely? Maggie can't help being suspicious; she's been, if anything, a little too gullible, before. Still, he is the law...and he has that straightforward manner. How bad could it be, letting herself feel a little sense of security? After all, its a rather isolated existance, with just Mittens the cat for a companion.
Henderson does a nice job creating a sense of place; Maggie operates a nursery, and small details of her shop and daily work provide a nice backdrop. The local diner has a good grip on gossip, (and some of it even makes its way to her.) Heremployees offer some challenges, and friends manage to fill many happy busy days. But, home is still a lonely place...and someone out there, knows she's all alone.
This contemporary romance hides many fun surprises, a couple scary ones, and offers some very well developed characters. It also houses some super suspenseful moments - once you get started, you won't want to put it down! 4 books
