Summary:
Claudia Lin works at Veracity, an online-dating "detective" agency. The agency helps clients verify their match(es) on dating apps by tracking movement, viewing profiles, and reading their messages. One of the clients Claudia is helping passes by suicide.
Claudia questions that it is a suicide and decides to investigate, like a detective in one of her favorite series' would. Throughout this, she breaks laws and discovers a hidden side of matching companies.
My Thoughts:
I finished this book because it was easy to listen to via audiobook. If I had a paper copy I feel that I would not have finished.
This is an interesting contemporary mystery. I found myself curious about how this client may have died, but not invested. As a reader of mysteries and thrillers, this book was not enough to fully capture my attention. There was no danger or life-or-death situations. I need more suspense in my mysteries.
