ROMANTIC SUSPENSE
REVIEW: Lisa Elkins is awaken when an intruder enters her house. Thinking she imagined the sound, she goes downstairs and hears someone is in the living room. Lisa hides in the laundry room and calls 911. The intruder discovers her hiding place and they struggle until the police arrive. But the assailant runs away. Lisa has no idea why anyone would attack her. Later that morning a dead body is found in the park with Lisa’s business card in his wallet. When the police arrives at Lisa’s home to question her about the dead man, she realizes that one of the officers is Isaiah Reeves, a guy she knew from college. She is informed that her break in is connected to the dead man. Lisa and Isaiah work together to find the culprit and bring him to justice. In the process they grow closer and realize that they have feelings for each other. And then Lisa is kidnapped and Isaiah races against time to find her before it’s too late.
Isaiah is a DC Metropolitan Police detective. He’s new to the department due to suffering a loss at his old job. He never expected to run into an old acquaintance from college who just happens to be involved in his new case due to no fault of her own. Lisa is a Cybersecurity specialist. She runs a cybersecurity firm with her friend and partner Harry Sonfeld. When the body of an associate is found with Lisa’s business card, she feels compelled to help find his killer.
DEATH BY DATA is the latest thriller by this skillful author. It involves a cybersecurity expert teamed with a police detective to solve a murder. A great combination. Cyber expertise and an experienced detective who knows his way around solving crimes. Lisa and Isaiah have history so that adds another element to the story. While searching for the killer they become emotionally involved. This fantastic story moves smoothly despite the romance developing between the two main characters. Their professionalism remains in the forefront to get the job done. This author combined a suspenseful thriller with romance which makes the story even more intriguing.
DEATH BY DATA is an exciting, fast-paced, murder mystery. I recommend this book because the anticipation will have you on the edge of our seat. It also presents a second chance for love.
