Book Review Time!!!

I am sitting at my desk, drinking my cinnamon coffee (second cup) and thinking about the terrific book I finished reading. Here is my review:

Deception by Randy Alcorn

Homicide detective, Ollie Chandler has seen and done it all. When a professor is murdered, Ollie follows the clues that lead him to his own department. The murderer could be any of his colleagues, even himself.

Haunted by the death of his wife and having no relationship with either of his daughters, Ollie struggles with why God lets evil happen. While Ollie is drawn into corruption and political tensions that threaten to destroy him, he vows to follow the truth and prove Ollie's First Law: "Things are often not what they appear."

This novel was gripping from page one. Ollie Chandler will go down in history as one of the most unique characters ever created! He says out loud what most of us think. His tainted view of the world through crime, has tainted his view of God. Two of his friends try to show Ollie that God loves him. They tell him to take a detectives look at the facts about Jesus and draw his own conclusions. By the end of the book, Ollie sees God's hand in his life, and decides he does need to check out the True facts.

I loved this book. I laughed out loud every few pages. Every time I thought I had it all figured out, Ollie would discover a new clue that would take me in a totally different direction. I never saw the end coming. What a great plot twist! Kudos, Mr. Alcorn. This is one author I would like to meet and find how Ollie Chandler was created.

If you love a good mystery, you will love Deception. Let me know what you think if you read it.

Enjoy!!
