New Sophie in every way, Toby Neal has knocked another awesome story out of the park.
Two years have passed since Sophie had Momi, Jake dumped her and Connor left her in charge of Security Solutions, all very big changes in one hit for Sophie, so what was Sophie like two years into the future??? Bloody awesome, no seriously, I’ve always loved Sophie but this Sophie, Mom Sophie, CEO Sophie, well she is the absolute best Sophie ever, she has really found herself and I now love her even more.
I am amazed Sophie lasted two years without doing any investigating…lol but again maturing…
I found the month about custody Sophie and Alika have in place heart-wrenching but it seems to work for them Momi is such a sweetheart.
Pierre Raveaux is a solid new character, he reminded me of Sophie in her first few books, he has a loving tortured nature about him and I hope he and Sophie build a solid working partnership together, they really make a great work team.
The story was great missing diamonds, theft, cons, guns, just another sunny day in Sophie’s world getting back out there is going to be fun and Sophie can’t wait.
Now the ending!!!!!! I LOVED it… Endings, promises, beginnings, friends, love, family and all the emotions, omg this book had everything.
Neal writes a richly detailed story, describing locations vividly and with very real characters you want as your own friends. The Wired series features Sophie Ang Smithson, a tech sleuth of Thai and American heritage, with a talent for creatively cursing in Thai. In Wired Truth, a more mature and settled Sophie is now CEO of private firm, Security Solutions.
Called in to quietly investigate a diamond heist from a high-end auction house on Oahu, Sophie partners with Pierre Raveaux, who is fairly new to the firm. Raveaux brings not only an intriguing set of skills from his time as an investigator in France, but something that ignites sparks within Sophie.
Following leads they’ve uncovered, the pair travel to San Francisco to another branch of the auction house, which also experienced a similar theft of diamonds. Sophie and Raveaux search in independent directions for the threads that weave the crimes together, each using their specialized abilities to uncover the answers. Woven within Wired Truth are glimpses of Pim Wat, Sophie’s dangerous and deadly mother, held in Guantanamo Bay, and Pim’s lover, the Master.
In all of Neal’s books, there are deep layers to each character, that unfurl much like a folding fan, as the story progresses. Sophie’s life as a mother has more clarity, yet her love life remains unresolved and after two years without a relationship, she has begun to yearn for something more. Her heart still mourns the three men she has loved and apparently, lost.
Wired Truth entwines many story elements from previous Wired books, both wrapping up aspects of her life, and also sending Sophie in new directions of hope and adventure. Neal has ended this addition to the Wired series with tantalizing hints of possibility that I look forward to reading in the next edition in the Wired series.
What a roller coaster ride of twists and turns, deception and coming to terms with things! This is the best book I’ve read out of this series; it is just amazing! I’m just waiting for the s..t to hit the fan! Mom, of course!!Probably in the next book!
I’ve read all of the Wired series by Toby Small. Can not get enough of them. Smart savvy women solving crimes and don’t act like stupid pansies who need rescuing but instead are able to do the rescuing. What’s not to love!
This is a very original series with great characters. I always await the next one
Normally like Toby Neal, but this book was poorly written, unrealistic characters, and drowning in excess detail.
This was a thriller with surprise twists and turns that keep my interest right up to the last page.
Lei Texeria is on tough lady cop who carries more personal baggage than FedEx! She manages to get the job done, but she is always haunted by her past.
A beautiful book, unputdownable.
Great book. Love the characters and storyline is different from other crime novels
I enjoy this author alot.
This is the first book in the series I’ve read and it’s definitely not a stand alone. The end came and I had no idea what happened. Obviously you needed to read the entire series and I don’t think that was mentioned at the beginning
I have enjoyed many of Toby’s books but this one didn’t do it for me. Very laid back and underwhelming characters, no-one to like and very unrealistic contrived plots.
