Great mystery! I enjoyed the action and suspense! Susan Sleeman is a wonderful, Christian writer. Web of Deceit is an exciting page turner!

I had the privilege of reading Web of Deceit. This is the first book in a series about FBI women. Oh my goodness - action and suspense from the beginning. I absolutely love how Ms. Sleeman develops characters - both male and female. She makes them stand apart, not just from each other, but as individuals. She builds communities that I love being part of. I love how she allowed us to get to know some of the secondary characters of whom I can’t wait to read about and get to know better in the future.

She has a special gift for getting into the mind of the suspect as well as the victim. She has the ability to help us see the different ways people think (right or wrong) and how people’s actions affect those around them, good or bad. I love how she took a complicated subject matter (internet safety) that affects all of us daily and broke it down to easily understood pieces, so I got an education while being entertained. I definitely look at the internet and what I do on the computer much differently now than I did before I started reading. I also appreciate how she helps to humanize her characters, reminding us that everyone has good and bad in them, while never losing sight of the evil that lurks just beneath the surface.

This book was great - I couldn’t put it down, didn’t want to put it down, and am still thinking about it two weeks after reading it. It had depth, suspense, mystery, some humor, and lots of action, not to mention romance. I love living vicariously through Ms. Sleeman’s books. I’m a huge fan and can’t wait to read more.

Sam and Kait are attracted to each other but fight it. Kait never breaks promises and she promised to get Fenton and justice for her twin sister Abby.
I absolutely loved this book. It was a great suspenseful read with just enough romance with it. First off Fenton is a sick S O B in my opinion even if he didn’t ,mean to kill Abby he did mean to kill her identical twin sister Kait. I like that the author took on computer scammers that are evil and use their computer expertise on criminal activity as I had my bank account scammed as have others I know/ This pulls you right in at the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the end. There was a lot of suspense, intrigue, drama, and danger and I loved it. I loved how Sam asked questions if he didn’t know something. The author did a great job on writing about the murders. I felt like I was right there with Sam and Kait. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend it.
