Review: A Cruel Deception

A Cruel Deception by Kim BOOTH
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a true crime thriller, about the investigation into fraud, the victims were Ted and Joan Warner. They came into contact with a woman called Barbara Hendry, a con woman, who purported to be an estranged member of an aristocratic family and needed money to fight them for what she was ‘due’.

Slowly, she bled the Warner’s dry, taking all their savings….

The story is about how DC Booth tries to convince them Barbara is not who she says she is, and they need to press charges against her.

I enjoyed the police procedural aspect of the tale, and reading the statements of those involved….it just shows how easy it is to be taken in by these totally unscrupulous people, with no morals at all. An interesting and intriguing story, all the more so for being true.

Thank you to Sarah at Book On The Bright Side for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour and for the promotional materials and a free copy of the ebook. This is my honest, unbiased review.
