Man Overboard

An Ali Reynolds Novel

By: J.A. Jance

Narrated by: Karen Ziemba

Ali Reynolds returns in this suspenseful thriller featuring New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance’s signature “fast pacing, surprising plot twists, and a strong, principled heroine” (Booklist).

Cybersecurity expert Roger McGeary finally has his life back on track after years of struggling with depression. But when he falls from the balcony of his suite on an all-expenses-paid cruise, the police quickly dismiss it as an accident. Unsatisfied, Roger’s tough-as-nails aunt, Julia Miller, is determined to find answers and closure. By contacting Roger’s childhood friend Stuart Ramey to help her solve the mystery of his fate, Julia unwittingly sets up a collision course with a serial killer.

Stuart, his sidekick Cami Lee, and journalist-turned-amateur-sleuth Ali Reynolds put the full resources of cutting edge online security firm High Noon Enterprises into learning the truth about Roger’s death. With Cami on the high seas investigating the ship from which Roger disappeared, Stuart stays tied to his computer, locked in a battle of wits and technology against an unusually twisted adversary. When the heartless killer sets sights on Stuart, High Noon must race against time to save him and countless others.

Excellent Read

Got my attention and held it throughout the book. The narrator does a fine job presenting the material.

J.A. Jance has done it again

Another great story, with questions of negative sides of technology and possible dangerous sides to be a aware of.

Great read!!

Love JA Jance. This is a new to me protagonist and I will definitely be looking for more of her books

Jance has another hit with Ali Reynolds, et al!!!

I love the Ali Reynolds series and wait, not so patiently, for each new book! The characters are unique and the story line varied. I like that the characters stand on their own and all contribute to the solving of the case!! I do miss Sister Anselm though. She is quite a charter in her on right!

It is nice to have a good story line, a great cast of characters, and a case without all the graphic scenes and sex that so many authors think they have to have to sell books. Janie is good st this in all 3 series I read, including The Joanna Brady books and the Alex Delaware books. Now to see what Alex and Milo are up to in their latest release!!! Back to back Janice!! A real treat!!

Imaginative

High Noon employee Stuart Raney is contacted by the aunt of Roger McGeary, a former high school friend and fellow misfit computer geek. She asks him for help to find Roger’s murderer. Apparently, Roger fell or was pushed off a luxury cruise ship. The authorities call it a death by misadventure but his aunt insists he was murdered. B Simpson and Ali Reynolds agree to help the aunt. Owen Hansen, a recluse obsessed with suicide, has hacked a psychotherapist patient data base and is tormenting patients/victims. Ali has to figure how all these ties together and solve the murder.

The book is well written. The book features Stuart and B and their computer expertise more than prior books. The plot contains information about artificial intelligence which was interesting. The suspense builds throughout the story and the pace is steady. Enjoyed the trip around the Monterey Bay area that Jance provided. There were two educational topics in the book one on suicide the other about artificial intelligence.

I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible; the book is almost 11 hours long. Karen Ziemba does a good job narrating the book. Ziemba has narrated the entire series.
