STORY LINE: A man goes out to
collect the newspaper. Someone stabs him and he ends up dead. His demise
unearths secret activity that involves a whole lot of other dead people.
A code breaker is
brought in to consult on a case of suspected arms dealing. A woman in murdered
in that case and the consultant (Sophia) and Detective Blackwell are thrown
together to solve the murders.
PLAYERS: Sophia is brilliant at what she does and is facing
personal problems that carry over from the first book in the series.
Detective Blackwell is also driven
and has his own challenges with his home life, which is also a carryover from
the previous story.
OVERALL COMMENTS: The
Electrician's Code is cleverly written and keeps the reader moving forward
from a seemingly senseless murder to the unveiling of a wily killer, who eventually
succumbs to retribution. I didn't even attempt to break the code that's part of
the story as my brain isn't wired for this sort of brilliance. Nevertheless,
the mystery and the interconnected characters and their schemes kept me
occupied until the end.
Although there is a previous story, The
Sholes Key, the books are standalone novels.
COVER NOTE: The night cityscape is fitting for this
story, especially considering the nefarious deeds done by the murdered electrician.
