4.0

"Zero Days", is a fast-paced whodunnit, that follows Jack, a penetration (pen) expert who specializes in breaking into buildings and exposing corporate security vulnerabilities. Jack's world is shattered when her husband is murdered, and she becomes the prime suspect. Now a fugitive, Jack embarks on a desperate race to find the killer.  The novel carries the emotional aspects of the story expertly.  The breadcrumbs leading to the reveal are unfortunately too plentiful and lead to frustration towards Jack and her inability to timeously identify the killer.  The twists and turns are however fast-paced and very well-written which contributes immensely to the enjoyment of the novel.
