Depth of Deception gripped me from the first page with the promise of a time travel murder mystery.  With twists, turns and red herrings, it is one of the more entertaining books that I've read in a long time.  Yet, the ending left me a little flat; the author didn't fulfill the time travel promise to my satisfaction.A few other negatives disappointed as well.  Irritating onomatopoeia--bang, beep, crack, etc.--is used throughout.  It is like reading a comic book, but the words are superfluous and irritating in this format.  Also, the 1980's gadgets, props, and movies mentioned are over-described.  Instead of weaving seamlessly into the story, they read more like bits of trivia.  Oddly, half way through the book Edward Hoffman's name suddenly changes to Edward Arachson for a bit then returns to Edward Hoffman.I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
