Reviews for "A Talent to Deceive"
"Denisa Nickell Hanania has cleverly created a one-of-a-kind book club in her first Avalon whodunnit mystery. Readers will get a kick out of these quirky ladies as they hunt down the clues to murder, all between working, home keeping, carpooling, posing as caterers, and strong-arming a deadbeat dad. (All my book groups ever did was eat!) A Talent to Deceive gives readers a fast-paced story and a fun read."
-Lori Borgman, Syndicated Columnist
"A Talent to Deceive is a fun read with all the excitement taking place right in our neighborhood. This is a club any woman would enjoy!"
-Cheri Daniels, First Lady of Indiana
"Denisa Hanania led a spirited discussion of women's friendships in connection with a book signing. A central theme in her mystery novel, A Talent to Deceive is the support women give to each other, and the 22 people present entered vigorously into the discussion. Denisa is a strong, personable, vivacious presenter, and by the end of the afternoon the women had purchased 54 of her books."
-Carla Stoneberg, Servants of Christ Lutheran Church, Indianapolis, member and discussion participant
"Thank you for sharing your book and the process of writing with us. It was so special to be able to speak directly to the author of a book that I so enjoyed reading. What was even more meaningful was how you explained the use of your friends and your 19 years of experience together as fodder for your novel. More than an entertaining mystery novel, it was about women, their relationships, their friendship with one another and what they would do for each other. By listening to you speak of what was going on inside your head as you wrote, I was given the gift of the depth of the true meaning of self-expression. I was also impressed when I asked how you ever found the time to write with 6 sons and you said that you were born with the need to write."
