Fantastic

This is the first book I have read by Christiane Heggan and let me tell you, I cannot wait to read some of her others. The story was so well written and the secondary characters and story lines made the book very interesting. The story flowed and the characters were some you could identify with. Everything intertwined so well the story was just phenomenol. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Wonderful!

Wonderful! I couldn't put it down. I was guessing througout the entire book and I still was surprised the reason for Simon's murder AND the murderer! I also loved Jill and Dan. This is my second book by Christiane Heggan, after Suspicion and this one is even better! I immediatley purchased all the others I could find! I was thrilled to find Passions at a used bookstore! That is next on my list!

A thriller I could not lay down

I am a new fan of Christiane Heggan but I bacame hooked on this book. Jill and Dan were great together as a team. I thought the story line was very good and it was a page turner. Jill was determined to find out the real truth even though she had to endure heart ache along the way. It is nice to see that an ex can also remain a friend and these two people needed another shot at being together after they grew up. I am now reading Suspicion and it is excellent. Hold on fans of Christiane she has done it again. I can hardley wait to turn the next page. Keep up the good work Christiane I love your work, you make many pleasant hours for me. Thanks

Another fine romantic thriller

In the Catskills Mountains, renowned but controversial architect Simon Bennett dies in a car crash that is ruled a tragic accident by law enforcement officials. Everyone accepts the official ruling as being accurate except for Simon's daughter Jill. She believes that the police are missing some important information and she plans to find those missing puzzle pieces in order to gain the truth about what really happened to her father. However, Jill knows she is out of her league in trying to ferret out the truth. Reluctantly, she turns to her former husband Dan Santini for help. Dan was the superstar of the New York City Homicide department when he abruptly quit after legally but tragically killed a fourteen-year old child. Currently, he is a college teacher working near Chicago. They divorced thirteen years ago because he could not deal with her prominent family . He comes to help Jill, not knowing that what he learns could destroy the woman he still loves. DECEPTION is a deceptively delightful romantic suspense that will elate fans of the sub-genre and propel Christiane Heggan's name to the forefront. The story line is exciting, especially Jill's uphill climb to find someone to believe in her. The lead protagonists are a charming duo, who find that the truth may be more difficult to swallow than the prevarication's used to hide it. After this novel and SUSPICION, readers will conclude that Ms. Heggan is one writer they can trust to scribe sensational story.Harriet Klausner
