Great characters and promise of things to come from Tait By Deborah Cook (@ Debbish dot com) Julia Taylor's being released from prison having served 10 years for a murder which some saw as warranted and others as vigilantism. Now 30 she's returning home to her eccentric artist mother Eleanor and stepmother Dee in the Blue Mountains.We quickly learn that there's more to the incident which sent Julia to prison so many years before. Determined to protect her family however, her only option is to maintain her silence about other events of that time.Not helping her cause is Detective Inspector Dylan Andrews. Although Julia's experience with law enforcement has been far-less-than-positive she finds herself attracted to this newcomer but forced to keep him at arm's length when he wants to dig into a past she'd prefer stay hidden.I occasionally struggle with romantic suspense which relies a too little on the former and less on the latter, however Tait achieves a good balance. The plot itself seemed as if it was going to be predictable but a few late few twists and turns added some complexity.A strength of the novel were Tait's characters—Julia and her supporting cast of family and friends. Tait also offered readers a wonderful sense of ‘place’. Her description of the Blue Mountains really reflected Julia's (and obviously Tait's) passion for the area.I did feel the editing process could have been tighter. I'm not sure if some major sections were chopped and changed but a few names / incidents were introduced which came from left field – although I did see an advance copy.All in all, a good read and I look forward to more from Tait.3-3.5 starsRead the full review in my blog: http://www.debbish.com/books-literature/cold-deception-by-db-tait/
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Romantic Crime Series By A. Rose Julia is released from a ten year prison sentence for murder. She wants to get back to 'normal' life back in the Blue Mountains in Australia but even before she reaches home she has a bad encounter with her original arresting officer and is threatened to keep quiet about details of her arrest all those years ago. If all had gone as Julia planned then this would have been a very boring story indeed, however, she's shocked at the way her little sister Blossom has turned out, Blossom's drug running boyfriend, hostility from people in the neighbourhood, and then a body turns up in her own back yard which seems to be framing her for a new murder. Someone is trying very hard to get her back in prison and although she thinks she knows who, she's at a major disadvantage in proving anything against such a powerful man.The plot is mostly fairly predictable and not too complex but this doesn't come across as a simple story either. It is technically and legally correct with a strong character base and the overall story achieves a gripping and fulfilling feel. There were one or two ideas in there which made it different from the usual crime thriller – Julia has a stepmother married to her mother – which gave a softness instead of a more male dominated family. It had a strong romantic side to it too which may be a downside to those who want a full-on crime thriller but I felt it gave a lightness and uplifting flow to the writing style. D.B. Tait is more than qualified in the field of crime having worked for many years in the criminal justice system before writing this, her first full length novel.I am happy to recommend Cold Deception as a great start to the Dark Mountain series and will certainly seek out Desperate Deception, the second in the series.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. 3,5*** By Books And Spoons Blog An original plot in a story that took me for emotional roll-a-coaster. The author paints a picture of the events in a clever way, you can see it all happening, you are right there with the characters. Julia had gone through so much, and wanted to just leave it all behind, and start her life anew. But it isn't that easy in the small town in the Australian Blue Mountains, where everyone knows each other, and all are aware of the past. The adjustment back to normal life wasn't easy, even though Julia was doing her best. And when trouble started to find her in every corner, it just got more difficult.There are so many secrets, everyone has one. There wasn't a character in the story, that didn't have major struggles in their life. That started to seem a bit overwhelming after a while.Dylan and Julia were attracted to each other from the first moment they meet, but their situation seems impossible. He is a police officer, she is on parole for murder, and more bodies start to show up, and all the murders are somehow connected to Julia. With all the secrets unraveling, investigations going on, and family drama to be dealt with, not to mention Julia's adjustment to the life outside, the romance between Dylan and Julia doesn't get that much focus, it is developing more on the back burner, and left for happy for now.The mystery behind all the murders, the drug running, and other crimes committed in the small town, seems to all point into one person. There's enough plot twists in the story to keep it interesting, even though the story moves on rather slowly. At the end, all the events are twisted in together, and some of the crimes and mysteries are solved, with one major criminal still on a run.The story was interesting, maybe some editing to tie it more together, would have made it move a bit faster, and I wanted just one person in the story to not have any major issues with them, but I guess this way, it was more lifelike. The romance was believable, real, and honest. I'm glad Dylan didn't choose to hide his feelings at the end, but came forward, no matter what the cost. Lots of drama and crimes in the tale, that kept the interest to the end~ Three spoons with a teaspoon on the side
