I really enjoyed the second installment of the Holly Anna Paladin series. The plot (while somewhat farfetched) was interesting and had lots of twists and turns. It kept me guessing until the end. My only (minor) complaint is that the 2 books in this series came out a year apart, so I had trouble remembering the details from the first book. However, it did not detract from the storyline and I was able to pick up where I left off pretty quickly. I will be definitely be watching (and hoping!) for a third book!Product details

Random Acts of Deceit A Holly Anna Paladin Mystery Holly Anna Paladin Mysteries Book 2 edition by Christy Barritt Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
It's was very enjoyable book to read, kept you guessing some. Christy Barritt is becoming one of my favorite authors. I would recommend it to all those who like to read a book that isn't full of foul language and sex. Good Christian read.
After reading the first book Random Acts of Murder.I look forward to the next book in the series. While it started out on the slow side, things began to pick up. One suspicious character was investigated and eliminated. It all leads up to a surprising ending- --finding out who was the intended victim after all, and then the pieces began to fall in place.
Another story about Holly Anna and her random acts, this time deceit. Holly is contacted and told to break up with Chase, the detective from book one, or he would be killed. The story is about how she had to lie to protect Chase and her family, especially her sister Alex who is getting married. Good christian mystery, which I figured out. Highly recommend.
Random Acts of Deceit by Christy Barritt is a very easy to read mystery. It has enough twists and turns that you stay engaged throughout the story. The characters are interesting and likeable. I would classify Random Acts of Deceit as the perfect book for someone just beginning to read Christian mystery/romance. It is not too deep into the religious aspect but it does present some good
Holly Anna Paladin receives a mysterious note and a visit from a sinister stranger in her own bedroom. Break up with boyfriend and accept a date with a stranger or there will be consequences. She can't tell anybody because the stranger is watching her every move. Why is he doing this to her and her family. He says he'll blow Chase up. Edge of your seat reading.
I have always like Christy Barritt's books, but the plot in this one is ridiculous and totally unbelievable. I kept thinking, "This girl is nuts and really stupid." I like to respect the heroine of a story and simply couldn't with this one. I find that some prolific writers begin to lose their creative edge over time. Since their books sell well, they are often pressured by their publisher to keep pumping out the product at a furious pace, and, in the end, that product is inferior. I hope Ms. Barritt slows down and is able to regain the quality of her earlier works.
Random Acts of Deceit is the second book in the Holly Anna Paladin’s series. The first book is entitled Random Acts of Murder. I enjoyed following Holly around in the first book. It wasn’t the first time fans of Holly met her; she actually made an appearance in one of Barritt’s other book, Mucky Streak. Barritt does a good job at creating action that grips the hard-core mystery fans with realistic characters, and a formulaic who done it mystery.
The writing is spot on. The dialogue hustles the action along while deepening the story with the prose showing the internal struggles and thoughts of Holly. All of Christy Barritt’s books, besides the Love Inspired Suspense books, are written in the first person point of view, so I develop quite a relationship with each character as the series progress. The dialogue and prose make me feel like I’m listening to a close friend who is spilling their deepest, darkest secrets.
One problem I did have was that all of Barritt’s first-person characters are starting to sound like the same person. Yes, they have different personalities and are solving different crimes, but for some reason, in this book, Holly didn’t sound any different than Gabby St. Clair from her Squeaky Clean Mysteries. Not that this affecting my enjoyment of the book. I really liked the mystery.
The pace of the novel is just right for a cozy mystery. There is incident after incident, all threatening Holly and giving her no choice but no comply with the Shadow Man, as Holly nicknamed the man who is ruining her life.
I really enjoy returning to familiar characters like Holly and Chase. That is what is so great about Barritt’s writing, besides her ability to create a new page-turning mystery with every book, I really like following the same characters around and watch their lives change and grow. In Random Acts of Deceit, Holly has moved in with her mother and has a good relationship with Chase. Holly is strong, loves her family, and is willing to follow her heart, even when others tell her not to. On the other hand, Chase, her boyfriend, is a good detective who wears his heart on his sleeve for Holly. He isn’t afraid to get to the bottom of a case or his relationship with Holly. I think Barritt’s greatest character strength is creating heroes I truly enjoy.
The conflict stems from threats from Shadow Man and how he affects Holly’s life. He sneaks into her mother’s house on a number of different occasions, demanding Holly to do things that cause her to struggle internally. To be relevant for today, Barritt includes the riots that have happened in the news to occur in the small town where Holly lives and works. While the external conflict affects her outwardly, the romantic tension the Shadow Man makes her create between her and Chase rips her apart. Holly really likes Chase, but in order to save everyone in her family, including Chase, she must do what the Shadow Man requested.
This is an original and unpredictable cozy mystery that I couldn’t wait to turn the pages to find out who the bad guy was. There is no questionable content, so anyone could read Barritt’s books. Fans of Barritt’s other books will really enjoy returning to familiar characters in a familiar setting. I couldn’t figure out who the bad guy was. She threw me for a loop.
Always thrilling, Christy Barritt does it again with Random Acts of Deceit. The mystery is thrown in with incident after incident for Holly’s life. I enjoy returning to recognizable characters in a well-known setting. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series or any book that Christy Barritt writes.
