Deceit by James Siegel

I am very touched by this book, Deceit by James Siegel.


What happens to Tom Valle, an investigative reporter, in Deceit by James Siegel could easily happen to us.

It is very easy to yield to the temptation to lie and cheat. Tom Valle started to lie when he missed the flight to interview a person. He cooked up a marvelous tale with human elements. He managed to get away with it, and with more than fifty stories, until the truth caught up with him.

Deceit by James Siegel occurred after the disgrace. Tom Valle found a job with a small local newspaper. He was sent to report a car crash. This investigative instinct was aroused, and he went on to discover a major cover-up.

Deceit by James Siegel was rather slow-moving at first. However, as the story progresses, the tragedy of a small town destroyed by flood fifty years ago become the captivating part of Deceit by James Siegel.

The plot of Deceit by James Siegel is rather unbelievable. It is hard to imagine a nuclear plant in US disguising as a dam without the arousing the suspicion of the locals. It is hard to imagine that people living in the small town and surrounding towns unaffected by the leakage of radioactive material. Deceit by James Siegel is a bit far-fetched in this case.

There are many small details not given full explanation in Deceit by James Siegel. There is no explanation for how much the local knows or suspects. There is no explanation for the “they” who sought to cover up the nuclear plant disaster in the small town. Deceit by James Siegel also does not explain the part that the sheriff or the editor play in the cover-up.

As a thriller, Deceit by James Siegel is disappointing. The plot is unbelievable, and there are many unanswered question. However, as a study of human nature, Deceit by James Siegel is a marvelous book. It shows that life after disgrace is hard. Nobody will believe a liar once exposed.

If Deceit by James Siegel is the first book you read, you will probably not notice the decline in his writings. If you have read the first two books by James Siegel, I suggest that you give Deceit a miss. You will be very disappointed since Deceit is way below the standard of Detour and Derailed.
 
While novel writing is easy, maintaining the standard of writing is not that easy.  I hope that famous authors can maintain their reputation by producing good books.
