Loved it.

Caryn o'neal is on a consulting assignment at an aerospace project. She discovers some discrepancies that put the project on delay. There is several murders, sabotage and a under cover FBI agent. This book kept my interest and was fast paced. The narrator Amy Williams does a great job. This book reminds me a little of Collen Cross' series, Katerina Cross. I definitely would more of this series. I was gifted this book at my request in exchange for an honest review.

Fun Murder Mystery

I found this to be a fun mystery and being a mystery I don't want to give anything away so this may come off cryptic. This story was a little slower paced and a bit predictable in the mystery and romance but still enjoyable. There are natural places you can stop the book and then continue later so you don't have to try to finish it in one sitting. The narration was fine, just felt a bit forced in the heated or emotional scenes.

Great corporate murder mystery.

Caryn O'Neal works as a consultant for an aerospace company working on a contract for NASA. After she finds some troubling information as she is going over the reports on the project she brings it to her bosses attention. Unfortunately he does not take it well and as she is a grown adult she simply leaves the meeting until he can cool down. Alas, she left her planner with her car keys in the meeting room and is given 5 minutes to get it before she gets locked out by her boss. Five minutes later she arrives to find him dead. Now she struggles to find a killer, make sure something is done about the error she detected in the code, and convince herself she isn't interested in the handsomely mysterious consult from another company. Will she become the next target? Excellent mystery, excellent writing, and excellent narration. I look forward to more by this author.

Light Easy Read

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review and all opinions expressed herein are mine.

Caryn has gotten a job as a consultant and discovers some major discrepancies which could jeopardize the success of the project. She reports the discrepancies but the firm appears to be disinterested. Shortly after leaving the meeting, Caryn discovers she forget her dayplanner and when she retrieves it, she finds a dead body. The resulting investigation seems to be focused on the project Caryn is working on and the problems with it.

This was a light and cute cozy. However, I found both the characters of Caryn and Reed [Caryn's love interest] to be a bit flat. I wanted to like them more and connect with them but I just didn't. There are some interesting twists in the murder mystery that I enjoyed.

The narrator did a good job overall.

Murder, Hint of Romance and some IT to boot

Entertaining and easy listening. Murder tied in with IT and a little romance blossom on the top.
