I found Deceitful Moon to be right up there with Caribbean Moon, the first in the series. Some complain about the ending leaving the reader hanging. That may very well be true if not read in order. I was able to pick quite a number of high points out in this book since I read them in order. If not, I can see a reader being confused. The almost mandatory need to read these in order is a low point for those who don't realize it.As for the novel itself. Very good. The characters are nicely developed and believable. Sophie, the Asian woman cop from Lansing, adds the right amount of comic relief to her partner, Manny Williams, as well as others.The guy who got away in the first book is back and we pick up the story. Additionally, another serial killer story erupts in another direction. We now have two equally demented antagonists to deal with. The book not only takes in the murder, but comes off very well in some of the characters dealing with their private lives.Mr. Murcer weaves them together well. The Kindle editing is a little sloppy, but doesn't affect the story.I found the book difficult to put down
