Gripping Thriller From Start To Finish
5By LollipopshotThis one had me on the edge of my seat and guessing right up to the end. It begins with Cora and Hades, fresh from a funeral and some kind of "job" the rich, taut language makes clear is not and IT start-up, or anything on the good side of the law. I really was captivated by the beautifully written language and the immediate clash of damned fine writing with the damaged and criminal characters. Tension, right out of the gate. It didn't let up once as the story unfolded and this reader slowly learned what footprints these two would lead as Jess Kimball enters the story and starts digging. She digs deep, twisting the story through her life as a reporter for the high-end tabloid, Taboo, the high-class world of world class, wealthy physicians, and through the mysterious existance of reclusive woman living in desert seclusion. Cyber-crimes are something new for me and always a bit confusing. Nothing was confusing about cyber-shenanigans in this book. I found the unfolding of the plot, the specifics of how things are done with computers to rip off others for millions, and the way it can be done by criminals of all social orders a fascinating read. Wasn't left wondering what the heck had been done. The action, however, was often over the top and always startling. Jess Kimball, the reporter who unravels this case, grew on me. I am a fan of Diane Capri and have read quite a few of her other books, but this was my first time with Jess Kimball. She is believable, fragile but ferocious, and a character I intend to meet again.
