Strike Me Down by Mindy Mejia
4.0
Nora Trier is a forensic accountant, she catches thieves embezzling money from their companies. Logan Russo and her husband Gregg Abbott own Strike, a huge kickboxing and protein shake corporation. Strike is hosting a tournament and the prize is 20 million and the chance to be the new face of the company. But when the money goes missing, Gregg hires Nora’s firm to find it. What she discovers is something much more scandalous.
This was my first book by Mindy Mejia, but it won’t be my last! I really enjoyed her writing style and this book is so well thought out. I did figure out the majors twist, but there were lots of twists in between that I did not see coming. This book read like a spy thriller and I found it very engrossing...for the most part.
Some parts of this book are definitely slow burn. I found myself drifting in the middle and just a bit bored. Right as I complained though the action picked up and I blew through the last 100 pages. I do think if you don’t have an interest in embezzlement scandals you will struggle with parts of this book. The financial investigation is a large part.
I found the theme of obsession in this book so interesting...but also creepy. Everyone’s fixation on Logan from the way she looks and talks to the way she beats the crap out of people in the right, felt so invasive at times. It really makes you think about celebrity worship and the problems it creates.
Overall, I would recommend this if you like a financial/spy thriller. Is that a thing? It is now. Thanks to Atria for my free review copy
