Byte #5

by Cat Connor

How unlucky can the Bleich family be? Four out of five murdered on the same day … the obvious link being the Heathcote Diamonds, reputed to be cursed. SSA Conway is not having a great time she is shot when all she wanted was a good cup of coffee. NCIS Director Doyle’s sister is abducted by an international hitman who proves to have intriguing connections. The appearance of Mac’s doppelganger is a profound shock and Mac’s ghost resurrects Elllie’s smothered rage. CIA Agent Jonathan Tierney surfaces too often for peace of mind and then her daughter, Carla, raises the teenage stakes causing Ellie’s psycho-prophetic alarms to go into overdrive. When FBI Director O’Hare, NCIS Director Doyle and NCIS Agent Noel Gerrard go missing at the same time, Ellie recognizes there are malign and subversive forces behind these ‘random’ events.

Can't believe I'm the first to review this book. Oh well I AM a NZer and she is an NZ author. I found it a bit slow going at times but I must have liked it enough to try and find some earlier books by the same author. I want to get to know the back story behind the characters - there were plenty of gaps here - perhaps I should read them in order! Although story is set in the US I could hear the characters talking as NZers - they used expressions I doubt americans would use. Not sure if I like the 'ghosts' - is this a common thread.

OMG

I don't have the words... there's a reason why I can't stop reading this series... you need to read it for yourself.

A Great Aside

Nice and short, but setting the scene beautifully for what was and is to come next. Don't miss the novella.
