What the story has going for it: Gayle Roper is a great writer. Her writing style is wonderful, and I always enjoy reading her work. She manages to incorporate Christian references into her storylines without trying to beat you upside the head with her beliefs.

What the story was lacking: I couldn't connect with the two main characters, sisters Libby and Tori, no matter how hard I tried. Libby is a walking doormat, letting everyone (especially her sister), do and say what they want to her without voicing her opinions or concerns. Tori is a spoiled brat princess who I wanted to shake until she realized how obnoxious she was.

The mystery/suspense of the story read almost like an afterthought, rather than the main objective of the story. The crossword puzzles inserted into the book were nothing more than a waste of space, and even the reasoning behind the crimes seemed far-fetched.

Overall, I didn't mind spending time reading FATAL DEDUCTION, but I'm disappointed that I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
