Book Review: Swan Deception - Gledé Browne Kabongo
Synopsis:
Dr. Shelby Cooper is a brilliant research scientist with a past steeped in secrets and lies--lies about her true identity, her family, and what happened that summer night over two decades ago. But Shelby is a survivor and now lives the life she only dreamed of with her powerful executive husband, and two adorable kids in a picturesque New England town. When her ex-lover is discovered shot to death in the trunk of her car, overwhelming evidence points to Shelby as the killer, and to the police it's an open-and-shut case. For the Cooper family, it's the beginning of a terrifying nightmare where nothing is as it seems. Who is Shelby Cooper? And why does the psychopath stalking her teenage daughter Abbie insist she has done bad things? To unmask a killer and rescue his wife from a possible murder conviction, Jason Cooper must unravel the mystery of Shelby's past. As the clock ticks, a series of shocking revelations threaten to destroy the Coopers for good. But nothing can prepare them for the mother of all deception--a truth so horrifying, it may leave them shattered forever.
My Rating: ★★★★★
My Thoughts:
This was the first book I have read by this author. The pages with grip you and keep you turning all the way to the end. Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down till I finished it. There is suspense and mystery spun through the whole book. When you think you know who the killer is, the author throws a spin in that will have you second guessing what you thought you knew.
You could feel a connection with all of the characters. You wanted to hug the family that had to go through so many struggles and at other times you want to smack some sense into them. The plot was unique and strong and the writing seemed to flow smoothly.
As soon as I was done reading this book, I was ready to go find another one by Gledé Browne Kabongo. Excellent author with talent. I can’t wait to see what other books this author writes.
