The King's Deception is the first Cotton Malone book I've read in a very long time. It was very easy to pick up and follow this book; the reader doesn’t need to have read all of the previous books to know what’s happening. The first quarter of the novel was a little sluggish as the mystery took a while to establish itself but once it did, the remaining three-fourths of the novel was a page-turner. Character-wise there’s not a whole lot of new revelations or depths with the familiar characters but it was nonetheless an interesting read.

I received an eARC of this novel through the publishers on Netgalley for review. My complete review of the novel was originally posted at eclectictales.com: http://www.eclectictales.com/blog/2013/06/03/review-the-kings-deception/
