Review: Deceptive Measures by Traci Hohenstein

A Mysterious Review of Deceptive Measures by Traci Hohenstein. A Rachel Scott Adventure.

Review summary: This is an exciting entry in this series, but it is far from perfect. The biggest problem is with the lead character, who is not all that likeable despite the heartbreak of the case she's investigating. The ambiguous ending implies more to come, but the resolution to the series story arc suggests otherwise. (Click here for text of full review.)

Thomas & Mercer (February 2015)

Publisher synopsis: When professional missing-persons investigator Rachel Scott receives an anonymous tip that her own missing daughter, Mallory, is alive and living with a family in Atlanta, she wastes no time in pursuing the lead. When she arrives to find a house that has been hastily abandoned, she begins to suspect just how frighteningly organized the plot behind her daughter's kidnapping really is.

Meanwhile, back home in Miami, Rachel's colleague Stacy Case is investigating an illegal child-adoption ring that could be connected to Mallory's disappearance. But just as Stacy is on the verge of blowing the case wide open, she disappears. With Stacy missing and Rachel in Atlanta, Rachel's team at Florida Omni Search must hunt down the ringleaders before Mallory is gone for good.
