My 5-Star review in entirety posted at Amazon for 'Deadly Deception' (Book 1) by P.J. Mann...

What he doesn’t know…

won’t hurt 23-yr. old Ethan Jackson, a pathological liar who seeks a cure through psychotherapy—unconventional, at that! After coming up with a travel itinerary of his choosing, he’s sent around the world, monitored 24/7 by a mini-camera recording his every move. At the end of the day, Ethan recounts what he remembers in a diary. Every week, he receives the diary back with the corrected version of what actually occurred.

Long before Ethan’s 6-month tour is up, he gets more than he ever bargained for—good and bad.

Different from the books that I typically like to sink my teeth into with complex characters, snappy dialogue, and detailed description—I still became a captive reader under the author’s influence.

Direct and to the point, the protagonist’s first-person narrative moves the plot along at a quick pace, while revealing innermost thoughts. For a time, the reader is just as much in the dark as Ethan.

The title, ‘Deadly Deception’ is no word of a lie! I highly recommend a book whose straightforward story never deceives or disappoints.
