Synopsis
Mackenzie is a lawyer by training, but now is a problem solver working for one of the largest venture capitalists in Silicone Valley.
When she’s asked to tag along with the FBI and figure out who took out the hottest CEO of a tech company, who left behind billions in “dead money” she’s all in.
Mackenzie races to solve this mystery, but she’s keeping secrets of her own, and will do anything to keep them hidden.
Thoughts:
and this one delivered for me. The writing was so well done in this book. I was hooked right from the beginning and stayed engaged the entire time. The pacing is incredibly quick, and you won’t feel like you’ve read over 400 pages by the time you’re done, or at least I didn’t because it felt like it was over in the blink of an eye. To me this book wasn’t about not being able to guess who committed the crime, it was more about the journey and the twists along the way, and it was great. There was a lot going on and a lot of moving pieces. As the author meticulously crafted their tale, things started to click and fall into place, and then the twists started happening. The final scenes were great, and I didn’t see everything coming, so while I think you will figure some of this book out, there is plenty to leave you guessing and waiting to figure out.
I didn’t realize until after I was done that this is a debut novel for this author, they are going places.
