Notebook Mysteries ~ Art of Deception (Notebook Mysteries Series) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Notebook Mysteries ~ Art of Deception by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Art of Deception is the seventh book in the Notebook Mysteries series. I enjoy this historical mystery series for the detailed setting and the broader cast of friends and relatives who help Emma and Jeremy solve their cases.

In Art of Deception, Emma and Jeremy get involved when their friend Peggy’s brother disappears, and then is found dead. They have to find out what happened to him, whilst keeping heavily pregnant Peggy as safe as possible.

I like how we see Emma in this book adapting to her responsibilities for Henrietta. She is learning to consider the impact of what she does on Henrietta and how to make sure Henrietta feels included without being put at risk.

This is an intriguing mystery, with plenty of twists to keep readers turning the pages! This book gets five stars from me, and I’d recommend the series to fans of historical mysteries and found family dynamics. You could read this as a standalone, but starting from the beginning of the series will allow you to get to know the supporting characters as they are introduced.
