I received a free download of "Web of Deceit" by Charles R. Stubbs through the Goodreads Giveaway.What an amazing novel! I enjoy reading mystery suspense thrillers, and this had it all, and was such a treat to read.The novel takes place in North Wales, set in 1999 just when the internet was in its infancy.It is a book exploring the concept of Truth or Lies, through information posted on the internet.How much should we believe?The police confirmed that a supply teacher, George Travis, living in the Conwy area is the prime suspect in the death of a man at Holyhead on Good Friday. The dead man was identified as Chris Morgan. The teacher disappeared on Good Friday.Travis's housekeeper, Mrs. Williams said that Travis left the house on Good Friday but has not returned. Travis was seen walking on Holyhead Mountain on Good Friday.The death of Morgan remains a mystery.Someone had posted a web page associating Travis with the death of Chris Morgan.Travis saw this and immediately went into hiding.He had been accused, branded, condemned and punished on the basis of a single piece of evidence and judgement.The internet provides ordinary people the freedom to roam through the world's endless knowledge base, and in the end, to make slaves of us all. How we choose to use it is up to us, how we interrupt it, is an extension of our own experiences and self.This fast paced suspense novel was well written, the characters are fully developed and the reader is drawn into this Web of Deceit.This book grabs your attention from the first page to the last page with a shocking ending. If you enjoy reading mystery suspense thrillers...don't miss out on this one! A definate 5 star rating.
