Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series Book 6) by Cynthia Hamilton – Review by Angela Shirley

Houses of Deception by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Madeline and Mike are back in the thick if it again not only having two missing persons case but trying to run a catering business, the plot thickens.

Madeline and Like are now married and still involved in the PI game but when an old rival and mentor asks doe their help how can they refuse. Russell’s nephew has gone missing and he begs the couple to help him find him, so the couple agree and start the investigation.

Although when they get a call from a friend also asking them to fine his missing wife, MDPI is on the case and uncovers more than the bargained for. With the usual twists and turns can Madeline and Mike find Dylan and his girlfriend aswell as Tara Richardson in time.

I have read all this series and this book does not disappoint, it it full of the twists and turns which I have come to expect from Cynthia. I love the relationship between Madeline and Mike and especially six books in this relationship has grown with each book. The story breaks into essentially three stories in the end and with the secondary characters weaving through the story it makes a enthralling read.

Although this can be read as a stand alone story, there are some references to other stories in this series and it would be great to see where this couple have come from. As always I can’t wait for the next adventure with these two great characters.
