'A suspense-filled thriller, packed full of twists and turns. Highly recommended.' The Wishing Shelf ' S.L. Beaumont's mystery novel for young and new adults, The Carlswick Deception: The Carlswick Mysteries, Book 4, is a fast-paced and highly entertaining mystery surrounding the thefts of priceless manuscripts and the accompanying escalating violence. I have not read the previous books in this series, but was pleased to find that I was immediately able to follow the mystery as well as to appreciate the interactions of the characters in Beaumont's story. I have a fondness for British mysteries, especially those dealing with the theft of art, manuscripts or books, and was delighted with the caliber of this story, the finely-tuned plot and the engaging characters I became familiar with as I read on. I'm looking forward to reading more of Beaumont's work in the future. The Carlswick Deception: The Carlswick Mysteries, Book 4 is most highly recommended.' Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite
