“Formula of Deception” by Carrie Stuart Parks

“Formula of Deception” by Carrie Stuart Parks
I have never read anything by this author but I was intrigued by the book description and beautiful bright book cover.

Steady plot pace, lots of suspense and drama, and twists in the story I didn’t even see coming! Our bodies and minds are very complex and powerful, especially after experiencing something big and dramatic.

The story was rich with WW II history which was really interesting to read. Overall I liked the book and couldn’t stop reading it until the very end, but some of it seemed unrealistic and over the top.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:
After the murder of her twin sister, Murphy Anderson changed her name and appearance and moved to Kodiak, Alaska, to avoid the press and publicity. But when local authorities discover she’s an artist and request her help in drawing a dying man’s memories, she unintentionally ends up in the limelight again—and back in the killer’s crosshairs.

The deathbed confessions of an Alaskan hunter have Murphy drawing the five bodies he discovered on remote Ruuwaq Island ten years ago. But what investigators find has them mystified. Evidence suggests that the bodies were deliberately destroyed, and what they uncover in an abandoned Quonset hut from World War II only brings more questions.

As one by one the investigators who were at the hut die, Murphy knows there is something much darker at stake. What happened on this island during the war? And who is willing to kill to keep its secrets buried?
