Deadly Deception

by Vicki Williams

Overview

Deadly Deception Deadly Deception came about quite by chance; an avid fan of crime stories herself, Vicki embarked on a journey of mystery, revealing she didn't even know who did it until she wrote the words. She describes the writing process by saying that once she got 'out of the way' the characters took over and revealed their individual involvement in the crime. Vicki's objectives in her writing are to provide a good read-stimulating entertainment for adults in a light-hearted melding of romance, sex, parties and friendship with the challenges of unravelling dark mysteries enmeshed in lies, drugs, violence and the all too human failings of greed, fear and weakness of character.

The story is set on Clairemont Island, a secluded island in the South Pacific. Breathtakingly beautiful this island has many a story to tell. The lies, deceit and secrets of the residents and holidaymakers will make your hair curl.

When a crime is committed, it's up to the residents to race against time to uncover the murderer before a cyclone hits the island and potentially destroys all evidence.

Nobody is beyond suspicion.

About the Author

Originally from New Zealand, Vicki Williams has led a life characterised by wide swings of fortune and ample opportunities to reinvent herself following each approach to rock bottom. Along the way, Vicki has discovered resilience, strengths and hidden talents. Her creative work encompasses becoming a life coach, movie-making, running a video production company and now, amazingly, writing books. Never one to shirk a challenge, Vicki's first book, Trust the Universe, was written in 40 hours and details the story of her up and down journey through the world and also her inspiring growth in awareness, spirituality and self-confidence. Vicki has embarked on a series involving action, murder and mayhem in a Pacific paradise called Clairemont Island. Deadly Deception and A Deathly Shade of Passion are the first two books in what promises to become an extended saga involving much loved characters and a shifting cast of angels and villains amidst the manicured gardens and stunning scenery of the island. Vicki's objectives in her writing are to provide a good read-stimulating entertainment for adults in a light-hearted melding of romance, sex, parties and friendship with the challenges of unravelling dark mysteries enmeshed in lies, drugs, violence and the all too human failings of greed, fear and weakness of character.
