Review: What a thriller from Rick Murcer again!
Rating: 5 out of 5

The Manny Williams Thriller series is fast becoming one of my favorite series of books.  Rick Murcer can't write them fast enough.  The second book, Deceitful Moon, is, if possible, better than the first, and the first was very good.In this second installment we again meet Dr. Fredrick Argyle, the man responsible for so many deaths on the Caribbean cruise that followed the marriage of the Lansing Police Chief, Gavin Crosby's son, Mike, and the lovely Lexy. It has been three months since that fateful wedding and cruise that took place in the first Manny Williams thriller, Caribbean Moon.Manny Williams is just as much a workaholic as he ever was, and still feeling just as guilty as always because he doesn't spend enough time with his wife, Louise, and their teenaged daughter. Deceitful Moon starts out with a murder outside the White Kitty adult club in Lansing and from there things go downhill as Manny and Sophie must return to the Caribbean.This is an action-packed thriller, full of twists and surprises that will keep you reading long past your bedtime.  Bodies continue to pile up as Manny and the FBI try to stop the horror of what is happening.  Deceit, betrayal, love and murder all make up this second novel that is a page-turner and one that can't be put down.  A couple of times, at least, I found myself saying out loud, "No!" because of what I had just read, it was that much of a shock.Caribbean Moon should be read first before this one because the foundation is laid for this book in the first Manny Williams thriller.  The characters carry over and events that took place in the first book are referred to in Deceitful Moon.  There are four chapters of the next Manny Williams thriller at the end of this book, and on Rick Murcer's website he says that Emerald Moon will be out in mid-September.  I can't wait!
