REVIEW:

Deadly Deception is book five and the newest installment of the Cooper Harrington Detective Novels written by Tammy L. Grace. I particularly love this series because it takes place in Nashville, Tennessee near where I reside. It is fun to try to figure out all the places Cooper visits as some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent. It is always fun to read a book that takes place in your area.

I enjoy each visit with Cooper and his family and friends. I think you will too if you haven’t had a chance to meet them yet. There is Cooper who is a down to earth guy and his lovable Golden Retriever named Gus. Tammy always delights me with at least one dog in her books. We also get to know Aunt Camille, Coop’s Dad Charlie, his assistant and good friend AB who I’m always hoping turns into more than a friend and another friend is Ben who is a detective on the police force. Oh! Let’s not forget his mother who is always getting in trouble and expecting Coop to bail her out. These are some of the most lovable and entertaining characters you will ever meet. I’m always excited when a new book is coming out in the series

The case to solve in this book is a woman who is murdered during a murder mystery gala event. There are many people there who had the opportunity and motive to kill a female politician. It is beginning to look like they might not solve the case and it’s going to be one of those cold cases. It is a near perfect crime and I will let you read the book and find out if Coop was able to solve the case or not. There are a lot of good twists and turns in this book which makes for the perfect mystery we all love!

If you love a good murder story and like trying to figure out the culprit along with the detectives, then this book will be right up your alley. These books are all stand alone novels but, you will get better background information on the characters if you go back and read them from the beginning. Tammy L. Grace is releasing Deadly Deceptions on April 25, 2024. You have time to read the other four books while waiting for your pre-order to land in your library. Until next time…Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

The stage is set for murder, but the real crime will shock you to the core.

In Deadly Deception, the thrilling fifth installment of the gripping private detective murder mystery series, Coop and AB find themselves immersed in a web of intrigue and danger at a glamorous charity murder mystery gala. Accompanied by Aunt Camille and Charlie, they enter the opulent Sinclair Chateau, where Nashville’s elite gather to rub elbows—politicians, business magnates, and influential donors.

The glitz and glamour quickly fade when the shocking discovery of a real-life corpse shatters the illusion of a staged murder. With foul play suspected, the prestigious Sinclair family urgently enlists Coop’s expertise to unravel the truth and salvage their reputation tarnished by this ghastly crime.

As Coop delves deeper into the labyrinthine world of high society, he uncovers a staggering array of suspects, each harboring secrets and motives. Behind the gilded facades and charitable smiles lie hidden motives and dangerous alliances. With the stakes mounting and time running out, Coop races against the clock to identify the cunning killer and expose the true motive behind the heinous act.

In Deadly Deception, suspense and suspicion are woven together with masterful skill, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the final shocking revelation. Will Coop successfully navigate the treacherous waters of Nashville’s elite to uncover the truth, or will the killer get away with a near perfect crime?

Deadly Deception is the fifth book in the award-winning Cooper Harrington Detective Novels, featuring Coop, a Nashville lawyer turned private detective known for his love of coffee, snarky t-shirts, and talent for solving cases. He, along with his faithful dog, Gus, and his right-hand assistant, Annabelle, work together to solve murder cases full of twists and turns.
You’ll find a bit of humor, a dash of southern charm, a dog who is more like a furry best friend, plenty of comfort food, and murder, of course. If you enjoy complex characters with a few quirks and plots that keep you guessing, you’ll love Tammy L. Grace’s mystery series.

The series may be read as stand-alone novels, but are more enjoyable when read in order.
