Story
It is barely a crime - just the theft of a single pack of gum. But each crime that follows is bigger, and each accompanying note promises the next crime will be even worse. When FBI Special Agent Dagny Gray is asked to investigate the gum thief’s fifth crime, a bank robbery, it seems like an intriguing case. However there is nothing funny about the double murder that follows. Special Agent Gray becomes part of an unlikely trio of three investigators competing to stop the escalation of crimes, often with unconventional tactics.

Fantastic
I ended up enjoying this book very much. I found it hard to get started because of the subject matter, I deal with Hispanics, legal and illegal every day, so the subject touched close to home. I started off with the Kindle version which I won on a Goodreads giveaway and then switched to the Audible version and was able to get through the book much easier.
The writing was excellent and I stayed on the seat of my pants the last half of the book. There was a lot of character growth in Dagny and there was plenty of character information on the other main characters in the book. I didn't feel like they were 1 or 2 dimensional characters.
There were twists I didn't expect, there were a couple of twists I thought would go one way but ended going a totally different direction, so I was kept guessing. The pace was brisk without being too fast and I was kept on my toes in a couple of places trying to figure out what was going to happen.
Angela Dawe did an excellent job in the narration, pacing was good, emotions were what they should be. All and all I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
I look forward to reading other Dagny Gray novels as they come out.

"Aimed For An Iceberg"
Would you listen to Borderline Insanity again? Why?
yes, as it had the flavor of Linda Howard's Cry No More, a romance mystery.
This story showcases "perception is more important than reality".
I hope author has book # 3 in the hopper with Ms Dawe reading it. Book #1 reader sample didn't appeal to me. (no sample of her male voice)
Who was your favorite character and why?
Lots of characters to like in this story as it is a fast pace good dialogue story.
Victor, special agent forensics accountant, is a fave because he has brains and puppy dog tenacity to follow our fearless heroine Dagey. Father Diego, "a lot of handsome wasted on a priest."
Have you listened to any of Angela Dawe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Ms Dawe has really hit her stride in this book with great accents and voice inflections.
Ms Dawe's male voices are her best quality (lots of male characters in this story) and she has wonderfully improved her cadence. (note: I do use the new 1.25x speed to match the author's intent)
I just finshed Marcia Clark's Moral Defense, both are outstanding listens. Not to be missed.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This is a long story that I didn't want to end therefore that makes me feel good about it.
I realized the author circled back in the last few chapters, and I got a wow ending.

So many questions about the disappearance of several undocumented workers. Who are they? Why are they disappearing? Where did they go? Who is responsible for their disappearance? You’ll be surprised when you find out.
