Formula of Deception is set in Alaska is filled with international intrigue, historical twists, and a broken heroine who is compelling.This novel is perfect for those who love a suspense that will keep you guessing as you turn the pages. I can't tell if it's the first in a series or a stand alone, but I was tugged through the story with a force that kept me wishing for just a few more minutes. It has pacing, a fascinating historical twist set in WWII so you know I loved it, and a heroine I just wanted to protect. A great story.

FORMULA OF DECEPTION by CARRIE STUART PARKS is an exciting read with lots of twists and turns. The story is riveting and well told.
Murphy Anderson goes to Kodiak Alaska after the disappearance of her twin sister and gets involved, as a forensic artist, in an investigation of six deaths on Ruuwag island, one of them being in an army Quonset hut. It is a cold case dating back to World War 11.
Things get very out of control, with people involved in the case being murdered when they start getting close to the truth, and the island being blown up to cover up the evidence.
The story is fast paced and we are kept guessing right to the end. Don't start reading too late in the day or you will be up all night!
I was given a copy of the book by Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

This book was engaging for the most part. Parts of it were a little confusing. I have read all of Carrie Stuart Park's books, and I have loved them. I have to admit, though, I didn't love this one as much. There was a little too much history in this one for me. If you enjoy history, then this book is for you. I have to say, though, I did enjoy the twist at the end.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A tense, fast-paced read that left me wanting a sequel! I really enjoyed Parks' other series; I hope this is the start of a new one!

*Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an e-galley in exchange for an honest review.

This book had several story lines but it grabbed my attention from the start. It had a lot of characters and was confusing at times, but I had to keep reading to see where it was going. I loved the surprise ending
