Julie
Blake - Computer Fraud Investigator, Silicon
Valley, California
"Cyberkiss"
I stumbled
upon this book at a summer sale and I really feel lucky! Chapman
succeeds in writing a Silicon Valley Mystery that kept
me guessing and with lots of humor. This is the third book in a
series featuring sleuth Julie Blake. When we meet her in this book,
she has just left a successful career as a VP to start her own detective
agency with her boyfriend Vic. (I personally believe in dropping out and
trying something new, so I don't have a problem with this part of the
plot...) They expect to solve security problems for large corporations
but instead a "techno-nerd" client stumbles into their office
(and lives) and they end up solving a murder (or two). Chapman worked
at IBM for nine years and is a veteran of Silicon Valley. For a
techie, she sure writes a good mystery. Unfortunately, a search
of her on the net is turning up nothing so I have no links and it looks
like her earlier books, Love Bytes and Raw Data are
now good finds in a used bookstore (Reviewed 7-13-98)
