I really enjoyed this box set. I did think listening to book two might have been a little bit hard (hitting a little bit too close to home) when it first started but I found I was hooked. When I finished one book I was straight onto the next one. I liked the characters and found myself caring about what happened to them.

The problem is the missing money isn’t the only problem with the company, staff are getting fired and then turning up dead, diamond mines that were once dry have suddenly started producing again, bringing the company back from the brink of bankruptcy.

Kat also has her own problems with money that she has to keep secret because who will trust a fraud investigator that is broke and can’t pay her own rent. Things turn deadly serious when a killer thinks she is getting to close to the truth but with no body believing that things aren’t right and nobody is who they seem Kat has no choose but to keep investigating.
Game theory

So starting a new case is just what she needs to take her mind off her problems and her boyfriend can see a new story in the making but tracking down the missing money leads the pair to non-existent auditors, a ponzi scheme and a powerful company that is so secret that no one has heard of them, other than conspiracy enthusiasts. The trail leads them to a hotel and a meeting that you can only get to by boat, keeping it exclusive. Things go wrong and Kat finds she has to go it alone when both her boyfriend and Uncle disappear.

The trip is derailed before it even starts as a romantic get away soon changes to a group holiday to a deserted island on a very expensive yacht and Kat’s Uncle and an old friend joins them. The problem is Kat doesn’t trust her friends new boyfriend as he seems to slick to be true, something doesn’t add up and for Kat numbers never lie.

I liked the narrator and thought she did a great job with all the different characters from young to old that make up this great book.
