Synopsis

An almost 20-year-old unsolved murder from Florida’s pot-hauling days gets Hannah Smith’s attention, but so does a more immediate problem. A private museum devoted solely to the state’s earliest settlers and pioneers has been announced, and many of Hannah’s friends and neighbors in Sulfur Wells are being pressured to make contributions.

The problem is the whole thing is a scam, and when Hannah sets out to uncover who’s behind it, she discovers that things are even worse than she thought. The museum scam is a front for a real estate power play, her entire village is in danger of being wiped out—and the forces behind it have no intention of letting anything, or anyone, stand in their way.

I loved Hannah Smith, the main character. She’s smart, tough, and she cares about the people of her community. This book is the second Hannah Smith novel. I have not read the first but I enjoyed this one so much I plan to find the first one. The book take place in the Sanibel and Captiva Islands are......more

Goodreads review by Cathe Fein on October 16, 2013

Deceived is the second book in the Hannah Smith series--apparently a spin off of a minor characters in White's Doc Ford books. When I knew I was getting this one to review, I actually went back and read the first one, Gone, so I would get the complete story, but I really feel this series does not wo......more

Goodreads review by Kristi on March 11, 2014

Let me start by saying that I love most of Randy Wayne White's writing... and part of the appeal of his books is that they're set in my hometown area. He captures the place well, and I often am a bit less and more homesick while reading his books (if that makes sense). AND... it's entirely possible t......more
