4.0 out of 5 stars Good story. Good series. Annoying distractions.
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021

The whole series has a good storyline. The suspense is well done. The first book has several editing issues that can distract a bit, but the second and third book in the series are worse. The dialogue between two people who constantly repeat each other’s names is beyond annoying. People don’t have conversations like that. And when there are only two people in the room, and/or they are married, they don’t keep saying each other’s name in the conversation. Give the reader some credit. We can figure out who’s talking!

Excellent read about the misuse of 501.c3 forces. The tax law protects evil people who misuse it for personal or political gains. Good mystery and it is a trilogy

5.0 out of 5 stars attention to detail.....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2020

I liked the author's attention to detail and the way in which she seemlessly pulled all the 'strings' together at the end of the book. I found it very informative in relation to corporate 'goings on' and can imagine such corruption taking place in many large organisations today. I can't wait for her second and third book............

I loved this book, the characters and story plot were just the type of fiction I like to read. The author’s knowledge of the places she writes about make it more interesting. Looking forward to the next release in the trilogy.
