I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
Amar Saraf is a professor at a university. Indira is his sister,
who specializes in writing code - the particular code she is writing gathers
geodata. Indira struggles with this for various reasons.
Mallory is a student at the university and works at a local coffee
shop where her path crosses daily with Tim. Katie Lord goes missing. Katie also
happens to be the fiancée of Tim.
Brock Sinclair - a student who attends the same university and
wants more from Mallory.
Rani and Falguni - a daughter and a mother. Complicated
relationship.
Amar and Indira, Rani and Falguni come from a culture that still
believes in arranged marriages. This is how Amar and Rani become engaged, much
to Amar’s disappointment and Rani’s giddiness. Rani is a complicated lady; she
shows absolutely no emotion. Amar makes the mistake of getting involved with
Mallory. While he does not have tenure, it’s still a bad idea but the two of
them cannot ignore their attraction. Katie Lord’s disappearance rattles cages.
The obvious suspects are questioned.
Something terrible happens to Mallory and Amar is the prime
suspect. In steps Indira who refuses to give up on her brother. Enter Dylan,
Indira’s boss. Enter Jason, a beat cop. Enter the geodata, as the saying goes:
“Data doesn’t lie.” While Indira wants to believe in her brother’s innocence,
she cannot dismiss what the data shows. The stress of Amar’s situation lends to
her parents’ distress. Her mom is not well, and her dad’s business suffers.
Rani comes up with a plan to which Amar agrees.
I don’t want to give too much away, but if you’re looking for a
new author in the “crime thriller” genre, give Ms. Patchell a shot.
This book shows that finding new authors can be a pleasant
surprise. This book trapped me when I first started reading it and for a
400-plus page book, I was done within a week. I enjoyed all the unexpected
twists, the family bonds, the broken relationships, the story itself, the link
between our geodata and the information it can provide, even if we don’t even
think about it. If you’re looking for a book you can curl up with, give this
one a try.
