pickThis is definitely a different type of thriller. The forensic accounting angle was interesting, and the ending was twisty! 🙌🏻 It wasn‘t my favorite thriller this year, though. #audiobook #Libby
pickSome #audiogardening, getting the garden in shape for the year… Any thriller with an accountant as the hero is definitely worth reading.
so-soThis was a decent read, a different type.of thriller. Involving finances and kick boxing. It was well.laid out and I liked the multiple characters that played the three.main characters. There was some character developed for the main character but not enough to continue to engaged the reader but enough hints throughout to keep my attention.

I also finished my #doublespin pick Strike Me Down. I crossed 6 other books off of my book list. Time to add some new titles for July.
Idk guys, but I am still in a reading slump! Ugh 😩! I just picked this one up today so I‘m just going to open it and hope for the best! 😝
panI'm not sure if I've ever been less engaged by a mystery/thriller. Characters and story line were flat. I'm torn between So-So and Pan.
pickBook 9 of 30 books in 30 days. This is a forensic accounting thriller mixed up with an MMA thriller. Stick with me here. I know. It‘s compulsively readable, but also forensic accounting is my personal catnip. 🤓 Its a tiny bit cheesy, but it made me want to fight white collar crime and kickbox. 🙅🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
pickGreat thriller! Fraud, fame, lies, murder (maybe?) and kickboxing; what‘s not to love? The financial aspect made it especially fascinating and the sports competition element had this meeting planner smiling at the peek behind the curtain of large scale event planning. Add in one more connection, it was set in Minneapolis, a city I fell in love with while at a large scale sports event, and I was hooked! Highly recommend!

💯 % Woman powered! Former kickboxing legend, Logan Russo, is the owner of Strike, an exclusive multi-million dollar athletic training empire. When $20 million goes missing from the corporate accounts, they hire forensic accountant, Nora Trier, to break the case. Throw in a little artificial intelligence and you‘ve got one heck of a thriller.
so-soThis white collar crime novel pulled me in! Forensic accounting, kickboxing, what‘s not to love? The ending, that‘s what. A little too neat and the very last line came out of nowhere in a bad way. I think I would have preferred a little bit of a messier ending. A generous ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
panAs neither a maths person nor a gym rat, I quickly got the feel that this #Minnesota thriller wasn‘t aimed for this mystery-reader! Nora is a forensic accountant tasked with tracking down $20M for Strike, a local and internationally famous gym, kickboxing and health food company. Personal connections quickly become apparent but I never connected with any of these odd and unknowable people. I wish I had bailed on it- just totally not for me!
