Formula of Deception

PARKS, CARRIE STUART
FORMULA OF DECEPTION

An artist hiding from an escaped killer uncovers one of World War II's most dangerous secrets -- a secret that desperate man will do anything to keep hidden.

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?

My Review:

Whoa! I'm stunned speechless after that ending! Gobsmacked. Sucker-punched. Reeling in astonishment. And I have no idea how to review Formula of Deception without letting a herd of cats out of the bag so all I can say is -- stunningly stupefying suspense!!!! Pay attention, readers, because it's going to get a whole lot more complicated before things start to make any sense. Loved every clue-deducing second!

I had some pretty hare-brained theories as I waged deeper into the cold case mire and then I had such a scathingly brilliant idea and I was sooooo certain I was right...until I wasn't! Carrie Stuart Parks shocked me numerous times throughout this read. And Murphy's backstory shocked me most of all. Honestly -- I'm in a post-read-dithery state and can't make much more sense than this: read Formula of Deception and experience all the chills and thrills for yourself!
