Abrahams constructs a powder keg of suspense ... He manages to imbue this page-turner with themes of racial and economic injustice while conjuring the ghost of Hamlet's father to hover in the wings. Stellar..
   - Hallie Ehpron, the Boston Globe

Abrahams's characters are extremely well rendered and quite fascinating, as are all of the plot's twists and turns. In addition to crafting a captivating and swiftly moving story replete with intriguing characters, the Edgar-nominated Abrahams (Nerve Damage ) provides wonderful locales in both Louisiana and the Caribbean. Highly recommended for mystery/suspense/thriller and general fiction collections.
   - Nicole A.Cooke, Library Journal

Peter Abrahams's stories are edgy, complicated, filled with characters who don't do what we think they should. This is not crime fiction to doze over and Delusion is one of Abrahams's best.
   - Margaret Cannon, Toronto Globe and Mail

"I swear, if one more literary person says in that oh-so-condescendng tone, 'Oh, I don't read ... mysteries,' I'm going to take a novel by Peter Abrahams and smack him on his smug little head." - Michele Ross, Cleveland Plain Dealer

Book Three in the New York Times best-selling Echo Falls series.

I've read the two previous Echo Falls mysteries featuring Ingrid (Down the Rabbit Hole and Behind the Curtain) and enjoyed them, but I think this one may be the best of all.
