"I truly enjoyed this book, it was a thrilling ride with twists and turns I did not see coming at all…" KJ Reads a Lot

A week of her life is missing… And now someone is trying to steal the secret she is desperate to protect.

Doing whatever it takes to protect her family, Tarin abandons her abusive marriage, rescues her son, and flees across country. And tries to hide from her billionaire, overbearing, hotel magnate father. Lost and unsure who to trust, she uses her new job as Cyber Security with Knight’s Associates to find answers.

Seven days are gone. She doesn’t know why or who's behind it, but the consequences of it are undeniable.

Graham’s Private Investigative company, Knight’s Associates, has been hacked. They are being inundated with false leads. Is it because of their connection to The Caspian Wine Company or is their new assistant truly helping them solve cyber-crimes or is she selling off their high-security information? Is that why someone is trying to abduct her?

Tarin and Graham discover that although they don't trust each other, they are forced to work together to solve several seemingly unrelated crimes that may lead to one disastrous conclusion. Can they figure it all out before Tarin's nightmare plays out? An eighty-year-old woman pays with her life? Or before Tarin learns a truth that may seal her fate and be the one secret that will keep her and Graham apart as neither one of them may be able to forgive or forget...

Deceitful Truths is book two in The Caspian Wine Suspense Thriller Mystery Series, as with all books in this series, it can be read as a standalone. A suspense/thriller that will take you on one heck of a journey with twists you won't see coming. Enjoy!

This is a story of secrets coming out into the open and the lives that they affect

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is the second book in this series. I found it to be just as good as the first one. You don't have to have read the first one to be able to follow along with this one. It was better because I knew what led to some of the actions after reading the first one though.

I love the story line and the emotions that come with trying to find the truth and learn who to trust. The way that the characters interact with each other is something that I could see actually happening.

This story of secrets coming out into the open and lives being shredded and put back together is one that held my attention from beginning to end.

When Tarin decides she has enough of her controlling husband and fears for the safety of her son, she travels across Canada hoping to find respite with a childhood friend Little did she know that she would become the central figure in a campaign of destruction that goes back generations. This fast-paced tale made me wonder what I would do to protect my life and that of my child. Would I run, hide, or face down all threatening me harm? This tale takes readers through the many twists and turns of Tarin’s search for stability and peace. The author doesn’t disappoint.

Can she get away from her controlling, abusive husband or will he find her and their son? What will the consequences be? Read the book to find out. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

A noble sophomoric effort, dragged down by cloying sentimentality

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2018

I wanted to enjoy this entry in the Caspian Winery series as much as Captured Lies, the initial story. I got weighed down, however, by the cloying and treacly romance. It came off as a distraction from an otherwise engaging suspense novel. I didn't much like the romantic angle in the first book, but the suspense and prose were so tightly executed that the sentimentality didn't distract half as much from that novel.

I'm curious to know how the third book will set up its agon and resolution, given the two principal detectives have both found impossibly appealing mates. I fervently hope that, with both Guy and Graham coupled, the third book will prove all action and no weepy romance.

A tangled web of deceit and lies

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2014

Review by Kim
for Read Your Writes Book Reviews

Deceitful Truths is a suspense/thriller with small romantic elements. Maggie Thom has managed to give the reader a tangled web full of lies and deceit to try to figure out. Deceitful Truths is a stand-alone story, however events which take place in Captured Lies (the first book in the Caspian Wine Series) are referred to, so if you haven't read that book, you may want to.

While I liked Deceitful Truths, I found the story to be a little confusing in the beginning. It was hard to figure out who was saying what and where the story was initially going. But the cool thing about that was that it kept me wanting to read the book.

Three years ago, Tarin Madsen Roth awakens to realize she has lost a week of her life and the only clue she has as to what happened is a piece of an invoice from Caspian Winery stuck to her back. Confused and alone after her father refuses to listen to her, she marries Stephen Roth. Unfortunately for Tarin, her marriage is anything but perfect. Stephen uses her as a trophy and shows her off to everyone. He’s rigid. He's distant and doesn’t show much affection for their two and a half- year-old son Chance. In fact, Stephan doesn't like for their home to show a child lives there at all. Finally getting fed up with her life and not knowing what happened to her, she takes her child and leaves. As luck would have it, Knight Associates has an opening. Now, Tarin just has to figure out who she can trust.

Knight Associates, founded by Graham and his partner Guy, is experiencing some higher than normal traffic when it comes to their new cyber crimes division. Needing help, they place an ad and in walks Tarin. Tarin seems to have the perfect resume and is perfect for the job. Maybe a little too perfect. It’s soon discovered that mostly all of the new traffic is bogus, to lead them on wild goose chases. The only question is why. Add to that, Graham discovers Tarin has hacked into their computer system.

As if things are not hectic enough at work, Guy has to deal with learning that things aren’t going so smoothly with his wedding to Bailey, heir to the Caspian Winery. Plus, Caspian Winery is being hit with bad wine arriving at vendors and wine shipments going missing. In it’s long history, Caspian Winery has never experienced any of these problems.

With her move across country, Tarin seems to have a bullseye placed on her back. Lucky for her, Graham is there every time to save her and her son from danger. While Graham doesn’t trust Tarin, she intrigues him and makes him step up his game. In Graham, Tarin sees the man she has always wanted to have. She fears that the secrets she’s hiding will not allow them to have a chance.

For me to say I didn’t know who was behind everything would be a lie. I went into the book having a pretty good idea. The only question was how and why. Deceitful Truths delivers the suspense I’m accustomed to from Maggie Thom. Her web of connect the dots will definitely have you wondering what’s going to happen next. The best part is that this book didn’t give me nightmares.
