Deceit by Brandilyn Collins

Brandilyn is known for her Seatbelt Suspense.

What would you do if your best friend was murdered and the killer remained free? Joanne Weeks is in this position and there is one person who can help her nail the guy.

Baxter Jackson is a respected member of the church. When Joanne blames Baxter for Linda’s murder, there are repercussions. No one believes her. Joanne is more determined than ever to find Melissa, the sixteen-year old foster child that the Baxter’s took in.

For the first time ever, Melissa Harkoff is treated like gold. She finally has escaped her past of brokenness. The Baxter’s have saved her.

The book delves into the concept of Deceit. Is it acceptable to lie in order to help others? Is some deceit more sinful than others? Is a little white lie ok? Does it depend on the situation? The mere definition of deceit is fraud and dishonesty.

Brandilyn takes you on a Roller Coaster ride. You want to get off but you resist. You keep turning the pages. The story is a mystery. It’s fun to try and figure it all out. What really happened in the Baxter household?


I had a 100 pages left and had to get up early for work. It didn’t matter. I stayed up until past midnight because I kept saying a few more pages. Then I decided to ignore the clock and finish the book. Was it worth it? Without a shadow of a doubt, what’s sleep anyway?
