“Marty also realized that his job was to solve gridlocked cases; he knew that he needed to strike a balance between his real job and his avocation. After all, if he got in too deep, there would be consequences.” – Chapter 4
Jean M. Porro wrote "Deceived: Murdered Innocence" to tell the story of a family’s twisted fate. Set in Rhode Island, Marty Sacco is a former detective who takes on a private matter. He soon learns that the death of a young boy leads to a world of corruption, lies, and a cold-hearted killer. At first, the author introduces the setting at a slower pace, but soon dives into the cases that Detective Sacco investigates. Somehow, there are underlying connections between each gridlocked case that leaves readers wanting more.
I really enjoyed this book, and the author shows her passion for writing through her words. It was a pleasure to receive a copy to review.

I was unaware that this story took place in the past (1960’s I believe), so that was a pleasant surprise. It is fairly short, but keeps you guessing about the killer. There were two different “cases” being looked at during the course of the book (recent murder and a cold case). I thought the recent murder case was wrapped up well, but I was left wondering if the cold case was actually solved and if the murderer was brought to justice. I received a copy of this book to review, but all thoughts/opinions are my own.
