Customer Reviews

A real living "Jessica Fletcher" mystery.

For first time author it was a very good read. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of places and food of Peru. It made me want to return. She was able to keep the reader involved and made it a real page turner.It reminded me of the old love stories that let your imagination take over rather than have every kiss and "heaving bosom" be described in detail. I am anxious to read her next book.

Augusta GA reader

I began this book with skepticism; I finished it with admiration and awe. Susan Mucha did a marvelous job with this novel. I couldn't wait to read each new chapter, breaking my own rule of one chapter a night. I can't wait for the next novel, and expect it to be as good as this one.

A New Unique Voice

Apparently this is Susan Mucha's first novel, but you couldn't tell by the quality of her writing. Deadly Decpeton is a beautifully written, fast-paced mystery/thriller which whips the reader from exotic Peru to the stately grounds of the Augusta National in Georgia. It's obvious Ms. Mucha didn't get her facts from an encyclopedia; she knows Peru and the Augusta area quite well, and readers are transported to wherever this talented writer chooses to take them. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of this author's work. If her first book is any indication of what's to come, we're all in for a treat.

Off to a flying start!

Not being much of a reader of fiction, I have to say that "Deadly Deception" grabbed and held my attention from beginning to end. It's obvious that the author has thoroughly researched the subjects and locations in her book. Ms. Mucha's writing style is clean and easy to read. Her descriptions are so vivid she makes you feel as if you are right there, in the moment, in Peru, seeing everything just as the main characters are viewing their surroundings. This book is a page-turner...and I could be persuaded to become a reader of mysteries now. I can hardly wait to see what Ms. Mucha plans to do with her fascinating characters in her next book. A+.

Home Run

Fast paced. Holds your attention from beginning to end. Good plot and interesting characters. Weaves a colorful and rich background of the culture, country and people of Peru - You can see it in your mind's eye. The author holds her own with any established mystery writer. Waiting anxiously for the second book to see what further happens to the characters.
