Title: This book has a great plot, but it turns to lead.
Product review: Having read other books written by this gentleman, I anticipated a plot with some devious twists and turns. I hoped for something on the order of Parallel Lies, which I really enjoyed. Instead, The Art of Deception seems to be a scam pulled on unsuspecting readers. Pearson forgets that a sentence is supposed to have both a subject and a verb at the very least and the adjectives that he does use are used over and over again. This book is hard to focus on because the sentences within paragraphs are disjointed. The author has a great background scenario in the Seattle Underground, but he fails to describe it adequately. The budding romance, if one can call it that, between "LaMoia" and "Mathews" it dull and predictable. If you have nothing better to do, read this book.
