“Exit
Strategy” by Colleen Cross:
The first in the Katerina Carter series, Cross
introduces us to forensic accountant Katerina Carter, who goes above and beyond
to solve what turns into international crimes.
Thought not be to be smart enough to uncover the
truth, Carter is hired by Liberty Diamond Mines to find five billion dollars
that went missing, along with Paul Bryant, the company’s Chief Financial
Officer. Unfortunately for the criminals, Carter is not as stupid as they
believed her to be.
Although spots are bogged down with what I felt
were unimportant details, the intrigue and suspense kept me reading, not to
mention the fact that Carter herself became a target. While trying to follow
the money from accounts in Canada
to Cayman and other countries, Carter is deceived by those she thought she
could trust, is kidnapped and almost killed.
Cross took me on a wild ride involving Carter’s
personal and professional life, her own financial despair and a McBarge. That’s
right…a McBarge. You have to read it to find out what I’m referring to. A good
book to read during an uneventful, relaxing weekend.
