The Informationist

The Informationist/Taylor Stevens 307 pg.

The blurb on the inside cover of this book mentions the queen in all thrillers...Lisbeth Salander...but that did not do this book any favors...my expectations where too high and it just didn't deliver. It was good but it could have been better. Our heroine Vanessa "Michael" Munroe is tough enough and hard enough but we just hear too much of what she thinks and if you are going to throw around Lisbeth's name, you really need to have a character that is a little more mysterious. Or you see some of her history but don't necessarily hear all of her thoughts. Vanessa is just too open and then the author throws in something more akin to a romance and here Vanessa's emotions are too obvious and worn on her sleeve. Taylor Stevens does a good job with the thriller aspects to the book but we need to know LESS about the main character. A little mystery needs to be included for this book to be great.
