After I participated in Andrew Peterson’s blog tour for “On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness,” the publisher asked if I’d be willing to participate in future reviews.  I figured I would go for it because if the book to be read didn’t appeal to me, my wife (or one of her reading friends) would probably be willing to do a guest review on the blog.  That was the case with Gayle Roper’s new book “Fatal Deduction.”  My friend Heather was kind enough to read it and review it for me.  It sounds like a good one:

This is a well- written book that easily envelops you from the first paragraph.  It is set in the modern day, making it easy to follow and relate to.  Throughout the story you find yourself in the middle of relationships that easily translate into your own relationships: sibling rivalry, single mother raising a daughter, single father raising a daughter, relationships with exes, and more.

A fun twist in the book involves solving crossword puzzles to find clues to the story.  The crosswords are an integral part of the story for the characters, and because you have a chance to complete them, you find yourself becoming one of the characters yourself.  The crosswords are fun but challenging, and the answers are in the back of the book for those of you who just can’t resist a peek!  In all, this is an easy read that is hard to put down.
