About this ebook
Katharine Murray's elegant Atlanta home has been viciously vandalized! She's prepared to devote all her time to getting it back in tip-top shape—until she meets Bara Weidenauer. Once a picture-perfect socialite, Bara has fallen on some hard times. Her husband, Foley, has hightailed it out of their marriage, and she's convinced he'll try to take her for every penny she's got. While scouring her house for anything of value to hide from her greedy ex, Bara finds a box of military medals that once belonged to her father, a beloved war hero. Eager to know the story behind these precious trinkets, she enlists Katharine's help.
But as Katharine digs deeper into Weidenauer family history, she discovers that everything Bara believed about her father may have been a lie. And when Foley is found shot to death, Bara's world turns to complete chaos. It's up to Katharine to expose this family's secrets from the past and the present . . . or the future will be very grim indeed.

Reviews for Daughter of Deceit
36 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I consider “Daughter of Deceit” as one of Ms Holt’s weakest novels. This is owing to predictability, repeating information, and lack of excitement.One element I expect from a Holt novel – even the lesser ones – is suspense. This is the author’s forte, yet suspense is absent for much of the time in this novel.A couple of scenes here and there are good, but on the whole it lacks sparkle.Oh yes, and it's *not* set on the eve of World War One as advertised in some cases. It's mainly set during the 1860s & '70s.
