Description
Two prominent medical malpractice attorneys are dead.
Can you imagine the stuff flowing downhill into Detective Lynch Cully’s lap? From his lieutenant’s office. From his chief’s office. The mayor’s office. The governor. He’s already facing the toughest case of his career: a serial assailant who leaves his victims unable to testify. Are these cases related? Has the perpetrator upped his game?
Amy Gibbs, RN is a newly recruited med-evac flight nurse who left the ER, its stress, and memories of a certain detective behind. On one fateful call, she hears the deathbed confession of a man whom police are seeking as a person of interest in the attacks.
Within hours, the lives of Amy Gibbs and Lynch Cully intertwine in a story that unravels a web of identity theft, electronic eavesdropping, and stalking amid a confusion of identities. Can Lynch move one step ahead of this killer? Or is the distraction—of a girlfriend he regrets leaving—too much?

This book was a high adrenaline rush. I liked the exciting way in which the author told the story. It was interesting to see how Lynch and his team sought to capture the LA rapist and connected it with other storylines. There were quite a few twists and turns, which made the book exciting. Something new happens in each chapter that made me invested in the story. Additionally, the author includes many details to the plot, and while reading the books, I felt I learned more technical terms like the various types of planes.
Lynch is great in the role as he handles challenging situations. I liked the moments when he accessed the system’s bios and restarted the clock or the scenes with Ester Jacobs. I also enjoyed how the author depicted Lynch’s conflicted scenes with Janick and his romance with Amy. Similarly, Amy is superb in the lead as she finds herself trying to handle her new role at work. I particularly enjoyed how the author portrayed her emotions significantly when she cannot save someone’s life, which is out of her hands. The villain is also ingenious and creepy in the way he attacks the victims, and some of the scenes gave me shivers.
Probably my only minor criticism of the tale is how long it became. At times, I felt the author detailed it too much, which lagged the pace. It would have been nice if the author could shorten some of the scenes.
Apart from that, this book was very entertaining! Overall, “Looks that Deceive” was an exciting start to the series, and I look forward to seeing how it continues.
