With An Honest Deceit, Guy Mankowski has invented a new sub-genre in crime fiction. This novel would satisfy even the most discerning reader. I was hooked. I loved it. --Ruth Dugdall, bestselling author of The Sacrificial Man and Nowhere Girl
A mesmerising observation of speaking truth to power. Reminded me of Murakami. Mankowski writes characters that are painfully human and fallible. I finished it in one night. --Hanna Jameson, author of Something You Are and Girl Seven
The beauty of this book resides in his actuality, and in the way the author eases the reader into it by choosing to tell the story directly from Ben's perspective. I was increasingly intrigued by the sharp descriptions of the characters that after a few pages take up a life of their own. --Daniella Quaglia, Huffington Post
