This is the 6th entry in the Madeline Dawson series. We continue to follow Madeline and Mike on another adventure as they solve another mystery. Running two very different companies, party planner and investigating company. Author Cynthia Hamilton continues the lives of these characters with style. Always good to read about them as by now they feel like friends, we continue to cheer them on.

5 Stars Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series Book 6) by Cynthia Hamilton
Houses of Deception is the sixth book in The Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series by Cynthia Hamilton. I absolutely loved this book and I know I say it after every book but this one is my favorite yet. If you haven’t already started this series I highly recommend reading it in order, its that good plus you get to know the characters. This is a fast paced story with enough twist and turns you will find yourself on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what is going to happen next. Madeline and Mike are back again in this suspense filled mystery of missing people and two other cases that are anything but what they seem to be. I highly recommend reading this to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Houses of Deception was a really good book! Each story I think keeps getting better and better. Madeline Dawkins has led (and continues to lead) a very interesting life and ways prevails against all odds. This is a thrilling crime and sleuth series that is definitely worth the time of reading it. This book was no less disappointing at all. I love how Hamilton is able to capture your attention from the first page and hold it until the very end. I definitely recommend this book and this series.

This is the 6th book in the Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series, but the first that I have read. This book stood alone just great, but find myself wanting to go back and read the series from the beginning to get to know all the characters better. Madeline runs a catering company and also runs a detective agency with her husband Mike. They are hit with two separate missing person cases at the same time. Madeline feels obligated to take the first as the person missing is Dylan, the son of the man who died saving Madeline. They soon find out it isn’t just Dylan but also his girlfriend. Disappearing without a trace, they start talking to everyone linked to them to find out exactly when the last time they were seen or heard from. The second case involves a woman from a catering event that Madeline had hosted the night before. The intrigue kept me turning the pages. Kidnapping and a ransom note. Mike and Madeline are in over their heads, but the local police also have their hands full and can’t get there in a reasonable amount of time. Can they figure out what to do or where to look? I enjoyed Madeline and Mike, how well they worked together. Madeline gets very personally involved and feels genuine. Mike encourages her to go with her gut feelings. I had a great time working the case with them, looking forward to reading more books in this series.

I absolutely LOVE this series. MDPI tackles not one, but TWO, missing persons cases. Lots of intrigue and twists and turns. I adore the main characters, Madeline & Mike, and the supporting characters as well. They are Private Investigators but are so caring in their handling of clients. They are also extremely intelligent and think outside the box, which makes the story so much more interesting. Good books have characters with great depth and this series has that and more!

It’s hard to believe that six books into a series I am as invested as I was in the first book but each one is better than the last! Houses of Deception is the sixth book in Cynthia Hamilton’s Madeline Dawkins series and while it is the sixth book I’ve read, I believe it would read just fine as a stand alone. I really enjoy Cynthia Hamilton’s writing style, she grabs my attention immediately with attention to detail and never fails to keep my attention throughout. I have loved Madeline since the begin and that hasn’t changed, which means a lot to me because while I love a strong female main character, there aren’t too many I can say I connected with. I loved this book and couldn’t recommend this series more. I would give Houses of Deception 4 out of 5 stars.

I haven’t read a new book from this series for a while so I was really excited to see this one and I couldn’t wait to get started. As I expected I was pulled straight into Madeline and Mike’s lives again and into the action that has never wavered over this series at all. I was completely glued to this story and loved trying to work out what was going to happen. Whilst in this book the storyline switches between two disappearances I wasn’t confused at all, I could tell the author had taken her time in planning so as to not confuse the reader – it was very well written! I think this could be read independently from the series but as I have read most if not all of it, I would highly recommend starting from the beginning! I’m definitely looking forward to book 7!!

Madeline and her husband Mike own and run the MDPI as well as a party-planning company called Current Events. Madeline and Mike attend an event at the home of Troy and Tara Richardson for their fifth wedding anniversary. After escaping from the party early, the couple gets a call from their former rival in the PI business, Russell Barnett. Russell asks them to take the lead in finding his nephew, Dylan, who has been missing for six days. After a shortened night of sleep, Madeline is awoken by a phone call from Troy Richardson. His wife, Tara, has disappeared, and he wants them to help him find her.
MDPI now has three missing persons: Dylan and his girlfriend, Paige, and Tara Richardson. Trying to put the puzzle pieces together for both of these cases in a harrowing affair. It is not easy to handle one missing person’s case, but two at the same time is near impossible. Madeline’s quizzical nature has her frantically trying to make sense of the disappearance of Dylan and his girlfriend while trying to bring her client’s wife home safely.
I have never read Cynthia Hamilton’s The Madeline Dawkins Mystery series before. I found that Houses of Deception is easily a stand-alone read. There are connections to past events mentioned in the book, but these do not affect the plot. I hope to read more of this series in the future.

Madeline and Mike Delaney run a husband-and-wife private detective business, as well as Madeline’s party-planning business. Early the morning after an anniversary bash for a real estate power couple, Madeline is called by the husband to state that the wife is missing and the husband wants his wife found. Could Madeline and Mike help? Just as M&M start investigating the wife’s, Tara’s, disappearance, the son of an old friend also disappears, and M&M’s PI business mentor asks them to help find the missing young man. So the plot line switches back and forth between the two disappearances. Plots thicken, and M&M methodically work their cases. I loved the art-heist dimension (stolen by the Nazis?) added to the missing young man’s case, and nothing was as it first appeared in either case. This was a fun book ,b/c I did not ever know what was happening in either (all three, really) of the disappearances until the author started telegraphing possibilities. My only quibble is really my own fault: this is book #6 in a series, but the first I’d read. I think knowing more of the back story on Mike and Madeline would have helped. Otherwise, a very enjoyable mystery.

A really great crime read. This is the sixth book in the series and it was so engaging. Even when I had to stop reading, I was easily able to pick it up and get absorbed back into the pages. Madeline and Mike are so relatable and I was swept up by the drama surrounding the cases. The author executed the interwoven storyline excellently and kept the intrigue going right until the end. If you enjoy a good detective series don’t miss this one.

Houses of Deception is the sixth book in The Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. I know I say this with every new release, but I LOVE this series soooo much!!! I am so happy I discovered Cynthia Hamilton, and Madeline Dawkins- they are definitely at the top of my ‘must read’ list. The story is very cleverly woven with lots of intriguing developments that pulled me further and further into the story. This story has all the ingredients that I have come to expect from a great read, and from Ms. Hamilton. There is plenty of mystery, suspense, danger, action, adventure, surprising developments, drama, tension, and other clever touches. As expected, Cynthia Hamilton, put Madeline and Mike through their paces- as well as crafting a very smart, tightly woven, and thought provoking mystery that had me glued to the pages as everything unfolded. I devoured it all in one sitting. This is a fantastic addition to the series which seem to get better and better with each new instalment. This could be read as a standalone, but I do not recommend doing that as you would be missing out on 5 other superb books that contain so much detail, past ‘adventures’, and character development. Trust me, it is worth starting this series at the beginning! So, if you love a cleverly crafted and thrilling mystery then what are you waiting for? Grab yourself a copy and dive in- but be prepared to develop a major addiction to Cynthia Hamilton’s stories- you’ll find that one book won’t be enough. So, limber up your ‘one-click’ finger and get set for an exciting ride! Can’t wait for “Other People’s Money” (Book #7)- it can’t get here soon enough!

Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series Book 6) by Cynthia Hamilton is a fast paced mystery book. Her characters are very relatable and easy to connect. The plot is quite gripping, In their journey to search to find one person, Madeline and Mike discover that there are more missing people and also a stolen piece of art. There are multiple twists and turns and the plot is nothing short of a roller coaster ride. I enjoy detective stories and I liked this mystery very much. I should very much like to go back and read the rest of the books in this series.

A frantic early-morning phone call propels the detectives down a rabbit hole as a missing person case turns into a kidnapping for ransom. Join Maddison and Mike on another thrilling case. Cynthia Hawkins is an amazing author and has become one of my favorite authors in crime. The Maddison Dawkins Series is one that you just have to read from start to finish. While this is the sixth novel in this series it can be read as a standalone novel. However, I do recommend that you read them in order. You will fall in love with the characters and the author from page one. Hawkins knows how to keep her readers engaged in her novels.

Houses of Deception The Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series Book 6, was my first book by Cynthia Hamilton. Although I did not read the 5 books prior to this one in the series, I really enjoyed the way this book was written and that the author went back and explained about previous events to tie the story together. For someone who didn’t know anything about the previous characters I was not lost in reading the 6th book in the series and I liked that. The story kept me wanting more by having 2 mysteries to solve in it. The build-up for both storylines was nicely written and kept my attention throughout the entire book. It was hard to put this book down and I will definitely be going back and reading the previous books to get a better idea of what Madeline and Mike have experienced in the past.
The author really adds lots of twists and turns to the story and makes the reader want to find out if the hunches that Madeline and Mike have are correct or wrong turns on the path to solving the mystery. I can’t wait until I get the opportunity to read another in this series!

I love The Madeline Dawkins mystery series. Cynthia Hamilton has a way of keeping the story on point and keeping moving. The plotline kept me on the edge of my seat and it was full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and total blindsided by what just happened. I love the characters. They are fully developed and complex in nature. Madeline is back in her detective role. She is looking for some missing people. Madeline is working with Mike on two separate missing person cases, but what they did not see coming was the people whom they were looking for may not be on the up and up. What will Madeline and Mike find out about working on these cases? I highly recommend this book, but make sure you have time to read it all.

Having read and enjoyed the previous five books in this series I was looking forward to Hamilton’s latest novel and was definitely not disappointed. ‘Houses of Deception’ is the sixth instalment in the Madeline Dawkins series and it was great to be back with our heroine Madeline and her now husband Mike. The pair make a great private investigating team and in this story they have their hands full juggling two cases with three missing people involved. The first case sees the couple teaming up with Russell Barnett their former nemesis, but they agree to work together as the missing person is Dylan Latham, the son of Burt who lost his life saving Madeline’s. Not only is Dylan missing but also his girlfriend Paige and they appear to have disappeared without a trace. Then when a women is kidnapped and a ransom is asked for, her husband reaches out to the MDPI team. As the team start investigating knowing they have no time to waste they uncover secrets, lies and shameful pasts whilst having to navigate ransom drops, stolen art, and extortion schemes. Soon they start to wonder if the missing people are actually innocent victims after all.
As usual I was drawn into Madeline and Mike’s world and was hooked from page one. The exciting and complex storyline had me gripped and the plot twists kept me guessing until the last page. Madeline and Mike continue to be a great team who I feel I am working alongside to solve the cases with them as the author makes them come alive. I enjoy the banter between them which makes them seem like a realistic couple and also makes them feel very relatable. Although it can be read as a standalone story the characters and storylines do crossover and I would recommend reading the rest of the series as each book is better than the last.

Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series Book 6) by Cynthia Hamilton is totally a book you could read without having read the first five books in the series. The novel itself is fast-paced and draws you in from the first page. The characters are compelling, and it was very easy to fall right into their world and believe it. The chemistry of Madeline and Mike is intriguing and makes the story captivating. If you are into mysteries with tons of action, this is definitely a good one. I was held ransom by the suspense and found myself trying to solve each case. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and you can bet I’m going to go back and read the previous five. I give this book four stars!

Houses Of Deception by Cynthia Hamilton is the sixth book in the fantastic Madeline Dawkins series. Each book in the series has been exciting and a thrill to read and this book certainly carries on that tradition. This whole book was detailed and complex. The story twisted this way and that and really kept you in your toes the whole wait through. I really love diving back into this series. It never takes me long to become fully invested in the characters again. This is a really strong series that keeps getting better and better. I am looking forward to whatever is next.

This is the sixth book in the Madeline Dawkins series and I don’t know how but Cynthia Hamilton keeps making them better than the last. In this story we are reunited with our strong and fearless heroine in Madeline along with her now husband Mike. Together then make up a great investigative team and each case they gets is always never as it seems. And the cases in this book are no exception.
The first case involves a couple who are already Madeline’s clients. Well clients of her other business of party organising. Troy and Tara. At the couples 5th wedding anniversary everything seems perfect in their life, however when Tara is kidnapped and her life threatened Troy reaches out to Madeline and Mike to find and rescue her. However what they find as they start investigating is that things aren’t what they first seemed and someone is hiding things.
The second case they have is to find a missing man called Dylan Latham. Dylan is the son of Burt Latham( Burt was responsible for helping Madeline and saving her life). When Dylan is reported to them as missing Madeline starts the hunt and again things soon take a twist. Not only is Dylan missing but also his girlfriend Paige. Could this just be a case of a young couple running away together? Or has something more sinister happend? Is it connected to the help Burt gave Madeline or has Dylan’s girlfriend uncovered something that has placed them in danger?

4-stars
This was a truly phenomenal suspense read from start to finish! This was my first book by this author so I can honestly say that this book can be read as a standalone as I hadn’t read any previous books of the series and I had no issues jumping in and piecing together all of the details.
From the very beginning I was intrigued; the author managed to captivate me and keep me guessing the whole way through. I loved all of the twist and turns, added surprise elements and of course all the mystery.
I look forward to reading more from this author in the near future!

Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series Book 6) by Cynthia Hamilton. This is the 6th book in the Madeline Dawkins Series and can be read as a standalone but is much better if you read them in order. Its the continuing story of the MDPI team who consists of Mike and Madeline Delaney. After they attend a party given by Tara & Troy Richardson they get a call the next morning that Tara is missing. They have been given the message that if the police are called they will kill Tara so they hire Mike and Madeline. At the same time they have another missing person case come up and they are trying to give them both equal attention. Will they be able to find the victims before its too late? Will the missing people be as innocent as they seem? Read this page turning mystery to find out!

This is a series I have enjoyed from the first book. This author has done such a great job with the mystery and suspense aspects of this story. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning and kept engaged to the end. This is a fast paced story that is full of action and one of my favorite characters Madeline Dawson. There is much going on in this book but the author did a great job of keeping the details straight so I didn’t get lost. Madline is back in another mystery of missing people and two cases are anything but what it looks like and of course you can’t forget about Mike who is also back in this mystery story. I enjoyed the twists and turns and how they kept me turning pages. This is truly a great story that I highly recommend.

Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 6) by Cynthia Hamilton is another great addition to this mystery series. Cynthia knows how to write a good mystery. Her narrative always takes the reader on a journey that is as suspenseful and intriguing as it is mysterious. I love the wonderful and lovable characters she infuses so much heart and soul into. I love the twists and trying to see where Cynthia is taking us, but I usually get it wrong.
I have said it before, and I will say it again I adore both Madeline and Mike as a team and the way they think and solve their mysteries. Nothing is ever as it seems, and this may be the one time they may be in way over their heads.

And two cases that are anything but what they seem.
The MDPI team agrees to join forces with former nemesis Russell Barnett to find Dylan Latham, the son of the man who lost his life while working to save Madeline’s.
The investigation turns into a hunt for two twenty-somethings who’ve disappeared without a trace, starting at the home of land rich Cat Kingman, an eccentric woman in her late-70s. Madeline and Mike soon find themselves wading through a shameful past for clues as they scramble to save two young lives.
A frantic early-morning phone call from a client of Madeline’s Current Affairs event enterprise propels the detectives down a rabbit hole as a missing person case turns into a kidnapping for ransom.
Now juggling two cases, Madeline and Mike can’t afford to waste any time. But as they dive deeper into both investigations, red flags and gut feelings cause them to question whether the people they’re searching for are really innocent victims—or guilty parties responsible for orchestrating sinister plots.
As they navigate ransom drops, stolen art, and extortion schemes, the two cases prove to be more complicated than either investigator can imagine.
What lies will unravel if they find Dylan, Paige, and Tara? And what secrets will stay hidden if they don’t?
Houses of Deception is the sixth installment in the Madeline Dawkins series.
Cynthia Hamilton started writing 2000 as a means of coping with a mystery illness that was finally diagnosed as Late-Stage Lyme Disease nine years after the onset. Writing has been her lifeline and a way to channel that overly-active inner voice. That horrible disease turned out to be a blessing in disguise, giving her a career she never imagined for herself, one that never gets old.
As of 2021, she has 13 books to her credit, 11 which are in print. She is currently working on the 7th book in the Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series, “Other People’s Money.” She lives in Santa Barbara, California with her husband of 41 years. She loves reading, writing and walking for hours, especially on the beach. She considers herself immensely fortunate.
