Was a good book. Will check out other books in the future
Short suspenseful read that is sure to please. No spoilers here, just know that this is a prequel that gives you Bob’s back story and piques your interest for the books to follow. Twists and turns, great character background and engagement with an ending that is a total surprise. Get this now, you won’t be sorry. I received a complimentary ARC of this book and am happy to provide my honest review.
“Never Reply All,’he told her mother. ‘Always double-check who you send your email to.’ Even though Emily probably knew more than him about computers by now, it stuck with her. Now someone else had made the mistake, but it was her problem….”
Emily works for/with Jessica in a small, successful start-up. Things are going fairly well until CFO Emily stumbles upon an email she probably shouldn’t have seen….
Bob, a FBI agent with an iffy reputation lives across the hall from Emily. Their paths will cross in a very contemporary kind of situation involving money, partnerships and trust that reads like a “cops and robbers” story that will pull you in and wring you out wondering….WTF just happened”
If this is a “novella”…bring on the series! Highly recommended 5/5

A thriller of the modern times. How an email could bring so many problems in a person´s life. A well written story, easy to read that makes you turn the pages to learn what happens in the end. It mixes crime, greed, love, friendship, betrayal and seems very much credible to happen in real life. Look forward to continue reading books by this author.
This was a great novella. Definitely a page-turner. It started out a bit slow, but when it picked up, I definitely couldn’t put it down. It certainly had me on the edge of my seat guessing how things would end. The epilogue was a surprise, too! I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more by this author.

Plenty of twists and turns in this story by an author who is new to me. It’s a short story but an extremely enjoyable one. Some suspense and a nice steady easy to read pace. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author and Agent Bob.

A very solidly written, enjoyable thriller, I particularly liked that it is set in a very contemporary period and that modern tech is used in the story and described in an accessible way, you don’t need to be geek to understand it.
The characters are also interesting and well written, and there are some great twists and turns. It certainly piqued my interest for the next book in the series, I can see some fun cases for Agent Bob ahead.
