Description: This state-of-the-art smart home has a next-generation entertainment system, an ultramodern kitchen where every appliance is online and even a personal AI to control it all. Standing above its owner's lifeless body, FBI agent Jude Mackenzie is faced with the daunting task of discovering how the woman was killed by her own home. How do you catch a murderer that doesn't leave any fingerprints?
Enter Special Agent Victoria Tennant, whose familiarity with cybercrime reveals the stark a machine can only do what it's been directed to. As the number of grisly "accidents" begins to rise, the pair must race to uncover the perpetrator even as they find themselves caught in their digital crosshairs! There's nowhere to hide when danger may be as close as the very phones in their pockets.
Genre: Mystery - Romantic Suspense
Why I Picked This Book: I always enjoy this author's books and this sounded like a fun one.
My Impression: I really enjoyed this one. Was it the most realistic or well written book? Nope - not even close but it was a total candy bar treat of a book. It was entertaining and fun and with lots of twists and turns that kept me hooked and looking forward to getting back to the story.
The mystery is an entertaining concept - a series of accidents prove to be not so accidental and are all linked to AI and hacking into cars, a yacht, and even a house. It's a little creepy when you think about how much tech and AI is in our regular life and how loosely protected most of it is. The characters here are all at varying levels of tech-savvy who are trying to figure out just how things are going on and how everything is happening.
I did guess the who well before it was revealed but this didn't impact my enjoyment in seeing everything unravel. If you're looking for a fun read to take to the beach or the pool or just for distraction this is a fun bit of escapism.
Would I Read More of this Series/Author? Absolutely! While her books rarely make my Top Ten favorites lists I always enjoy them.
Would I Recommend this Book? Yes, if you're looking for something light and for a bit of escapism.

I like to call these kinds of books popcorn reads...addictive in the moment, but not much substance to them when you think about them later. ;D
