Publisher's summary

Genius programmer Angela Hoot has always been at the top of her class. Now she's at the bottom of the FBI food chain - until her first case threatens everyone around her.

Angela's graduate school days at MIT come to an abrupt end when she uses her hacking skills on another student's computer. Yet her mentor, Eve Abajian, arranges a new beginning for her - as an intern in FBI's Boston field office. Her new supervisor, Assistant Special Agent in Charge William Keats, one of only two agents in the Northeast to make his rank before the age of 30, sees in Angela a fellow prodigy. But Angela's skills come with a natural curiosity, which is also a dangerous liability.

With little training, Angela is quickly plunged into a tough case: tracking murderous brothers who go by the Poet and the Engineer. When Keats tells her to "watch and listen", Angela's mind kicks into overdrive. The obsessive thinking that earned her As on campus can prove fatal in the field.

Narrator too juvenile

The story line is ok for a quick read. It is predictable and nothing too suspenseful.

I did not like the narrator. The book called for a college graduate student - a genius yes, a teenager no. The voice was that of a young teenager & that was annoying.

I returned the book.

Quite A Good Listen

the Performance added to a good, fast moving, storyline. The IT was easy to follow and the coming of age story was modern without being predicable. I hope to find this collaboration of artist again.

Suspenseful

I enjoyed the main character, even though she was rather impulsive. I liked the cyber background and look forward to another episode.

I loved it

Great listen. Straightforward murder-mystery, follow the hidden leads, case solved. Best of all, very little offensive language. So glad I didnt go by some of the other reviews. I enjoyed exploring the personality of each character. I hope there are other books in this series.
