Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Practice to Deceive is an enjoyable novel...for lots of reasons. First, it has a plot with some twists in it which surprise the most perceptive reader. And Housewright draws some startling and yet believable characters whose greed borders on madness and who are obsessed with filling their empty lives with deception and fantasy. Consider the hateful teenaged daughter who holds her mother hostage, the mother who refused to belive her daughter is a spoiled and greedy brat, and the cross-dressing computer geek whose desire for money leads him to murder and theft.
All of this intrigue is set in Minneapolis, a colorful city described in finely-drawn detail and with obvious appreciation.
What holds it all together is Our Hero, Holland Taylor...detective, martial arts expert, and jokester. You gotta like Taylor as he wisecracks his way through the action, strongarms the ugly guys, and uncovers the perverted values of life around him.
As a matter of fact, you gotta like this book! It's got all the right formulas for a good detective novel....
