Clairemont Island Mystery

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.
