Critical Praise

"Wonderful".... "It's the twists and turns of Lachlan's mind as he struggles with deceiving us about Susie's deception that really make this a most satisfying reading experience."

——Sunday's Chicago Tribune, Dick Adler

"In her first novel after the award-winning Garnethill trilogy, Denise Mina proves, if there were any doubt, that she's not only one of the best crime writers going, but one of the best writers of any stripe....Mina's sharp observation and lovely prose shine a disturbingly bright light into dark corners of life. Don't miss this book."

——The Rocky Mountain News

"Deception lives up to its title with a story that's equal parts entertainment and total surprise. With subtle humor and a keen eye for the darkness that lurks behind clean, well-lighted lives, Denise Mina delivers a fast-paced thriller and confirms her reputation as one of the genre's brightest new stars."
