REVIEW
The Carlswick Deception, S.L. Beaumont
Reviewed By

The Carlswick Mysteries are a series of young adult novels (THE CARLSWICK AFFAIR, THE CARLSWICK TREASURE, THE CARLSWICK CONSPIRACY, THE CARLSWICK DECEPTION and THE CARSLWICK MYTHOLOGY), this one being the fourth in the series. There is some back-story woven into each of the books to assist readers in not needing to start from the very beginning, although my advice would be to go back to the start as there appears to be a lot that's happened between Oxford student Stephanie Cooper and her rock-star boyfriend, James.
Young adult styled, with the emphasis leaning slightly towards telling, rather than showing, the rock-star lifestyle is what's needed to bring student Stephanie into contact with a range of possible mystery scenarios. In this case, the theft of a priceless Shakesperean First folio, flinched from a stately mannor, which results in a murder, and Stephanie's meeting with a particularly attractive young cop. Lots of glamorous lifestyle, bit of romantic tension and an English country manor into the bargain, this is a series that may appeal to young adults (women in particular) looking for a spot of escapism.
