Death by Blue Water by Kait Carson

Death by Blue Water. A Hayden Kent MysteryDeath by Blue Water. A Hayden Kent Mystery by Kait Carson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Florida Keys, white sandy beaches, crystal clear blue water, sounds like paradise, ideal for scuba diving, but is it? Hayden Kent a paralegal is diving when she swims into a dead body at her favourite dive. Okay all she has to do is report it and the police will take it from there. No, nothing is that simple, she is implicated and it becomes even more difficult when she cannot remember what she was doing when the victim was killed. Yes murder, greed, and corruption can happen in paradise. How can Hayden get herself out of this? The author Kait Carson builds a very good plot giving only small clues as to the final outcome, leaving plenty of room for you to develop your own ideas. This is not the most riveting read, but it is easy reading and good entertainment.

Intrusion by Reece Hirsch

IntrusionIntrusion by Reece Hirsch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We all Google something everyday and hear or read about the size and power of Google, now you can read a thriller based on theft from a fictional Google caller Zapper. Chris Bruen a security and privacy lawyer at a law firm, is called in to investigate a hack into Zapper. Being a very hands on investigator Chris and his colleague Zoey have narrowed down the culprits and he decides to make a visit. Be warned this is not just a cybercrime investigation, Reece Hirsch has given us the whole shooting match - killings, greed, power, deadly pursuits and story twists all go to making an excellent thriller. The author has drawn on his professional background in writing this book and it shows, it is well written and gives you the impression that it is not all fiction and could be very real. This is one of my favourites of the year so far and could feature in my top 5 selection.
