When Myra regains consciousness, she is terribly confused and insists she was a passenger on the Titanic, so her psychologist, Natalie, reaches out to a Titanic survivor named Edward Hoffman in an attempt to recreate the last evening on the ship to draw her out as a fraud or a lunatic. When Myra not only recalls the evening's events correctly, but also remembers specifics about Edward himself, things get even more peculiar.
Edward is quite confused about Myra and her intentions, but her appearance starts to make him doubt the life he has known all of the years since the Titanic accident. In the meantime, the deeper Toughill digs into Gilcrest's murder, the more he realizes that it was a huge cover-up. As the bodies begin piling up on both sides of the pond, Calllum, Edward and Myra find themselves thrown together in a mystery that not only spans across the miles, but also across the years.
I really enjoyed Depth of Deception. It was excellently written, although a tiny bit pretentious at times. However, I chalk this up to the fact that author Alexander Galant stayed in character as far as speech and colloquialism, depending on whether the scene was taking place in America or Europe. I will say that there are a lot of characters in this book and it can get a bit confusing, and also, I have been intentionally vague in this review so as not to spoil any surprises. That being said, it's a fun story with a good mystery and though I was able to predict who the culprits were, the ending had a nice twist to it that I really liked. I would definitely read Alexander Galant again and I look forward to his next novel, Bloody Mary Kelly, releasing in 2013.
