This book was very well written and very original compared to other books that I have read in the same genre

After an argument near the pool, when Jennifer’s husband failed to keep an eye on their child, her husband goes missing. The police do not take her serious and it is left to Jennifer to find out exactly what happened to her husband

Jennifer was such a likeable character and I just wanted to help her on her search

On her search, Jennifer uncovers so many secrets

The book is full of twists and turns and truly gripping.

I highly recommend this book

An intriguing, fast-paced story and enjoyable writing style. A good mystery with plenty of suspicion and doubts cast on characters to keep the reader hooked.

Unfortunately, this title was just OK for me. I found it hard to read at times, and there was so much going on that I didn't feel intrigued, I just felt a bit bogged down. Other reviews I have read have called it a "slow burn", but it was more of a long fizzle for me.

Double Deceit had me sucked in from the beginning and kept hold of my attention till the end. I would recommend this book to you if you like crime thrillers or just thrillers in general.

Jennifer is a young mom who loses her husband in a brutal murder. She tries to uncover the truth but just continues to be told you are crazy and those facts aren’t true. The author did a great job of keeping me guessing until the end. I did not know who the murderer was. This was the first book I read by this author. I will definitely read more of hers. Thank you to netgalley for the advanced copy.

Jennifer is a general practitioner living in Amsterdam with her husband Oliver and young son, Tim. Her marriage is on the rocks and a vacation to a holiday park seems like a good idea to work on their relationship and get some quality family time.

Tim goes missing whilst Oliver is supposed to be watching him. Jennifer is frantic with worry searching for him, she fears Tim has fallen into the swimming pool. After finding him she argues with Oliver, resulting in him storming off.

This book really kept my interest with the many twists in the story. At every turn I was expecting the book to take a traditional path with certain tropes that appear in thrillers like this but I ended up being pleasantly surprised at what those twists ended up being. Like initially I thought this would be a missing child story but it wasn’t (not a spoiler). I thought one of the men in the story would turn out to be a villain but that person’s story took an unexpected turn. I liked that Jennifer was very self aware and honest about her flaws. She’s quick to judge and has a temper. I liked that she wasn’t perfect and I liked that most of the characters were sympathetic to what she was going thru even if she was hard on herself. I wish I lived in Amsterdam so I could recognize the places mentioned!. The only not so great thing about this book is the ending seemed really rushed. It was literally 3 pages at the end where everything was all of a sudden resolved.

Mild spoiler ————
And I didn’t like that the book description made me think the story was about Jennifer being framed for a murder when that plot development didn’t happen until very late in the book! I kept waiting and wondering when that would happen. ——end of mild spoiler

Otherwise it was an entertaining read! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a review copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
