5.0 out of 5 stars
Great mystery, good investigative procedures, a fun read
I would highly recommend this book about part-Hopi computer hacker Laura Winslow. The story tells about how our hero, Laura, was lured out of semi-retirement and back into investigative action by the possibility of helping her 23-year-old daughter, whom she had not seen in many years. Interesting converging story lines about a world-wide line of exclusive brothels and...

I'll admit, I didn't finish the book. But if the writing/editing is so sloppy that the main character's dog changes genders five times in three pages, I can't be bothered. What's that tell me the actual mystery part is going to be like, if the author can't even keep track of his pronouns on something that simple?

I would highly recommend this book about part-Hopi computer hacker Laura Winslow. The story tells about how our hero, Laura, was lured out of semi-retirement and back into investigative action by the possibility of helping her 23-year-old daughter, whom she had not seen in many years. Interesting converging story lines about a world-wide line of exclusive brothels and about an identity theft ring set up by wireless network from a catalog phone-order center. You will really like and empathize with the clever Laura, and sympathize with her messed-up personal life. The plot is intriguing, and features a number of good, well-developed characters. I am going to see what other books there are by David Cole that I have not read - I _really_ enjoyed this book. I just got back from a long vacation during which I read a good number of mysteries and thrillers - this one was definitely my favorite! Read it today. Seriously.(Although the bad guys' method of disposing of bodies using a wood chipper ala "Fargo" is a bit disturbing...) |
