⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have read and enjoyed almost all of DeMille's previous novels, and I can say that The Deserter did not disappoint! I loved Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor and their endeavors in hunting down Kyle Mercer, an Army captain caught up in a horrible wartime situation. DeMille's description of Venezuela was educational, and I felt like I was there, with the all the poverty and political unrest, and the dangers in the jungle. The story itself is quite long and is a very tangled web. I had to go back and reread several major portions of the book, which is something I don't remember having to do with previous DeMille novels. DeMille's "tongue in cheek" humor makes reading a pleasure and lightens up the intensity of the story. I highly recommend The Deserter to readers who have time to devote to a lengthy and satisfying criminal investigation adventure set on foreign soil.
Many thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
