Review Quotes
Deception permeates the air and seeps through the groundwater in Driftless Deceit, Sue Berg's multi-pronged mystery of secrets and murder in Wisconsin's picturesque Driftless region. In the book, the third in the author's Driftless Series, the sheriff department's chief investigator Jim Higgins must distinguish truth from lies and untwist a convoluted trail to discover the killer in a brutal double homicide even as he grapples with upheaval in his personal life. Evil is center stage in the story, but Berg creates a smorgasbord of subplots that presents readers with characters confounded by an assortment of real-life issues, from family loyalty and faith to forgiveness and love both lost and found.
