Overall, I bit weird, a bit different though engrossing. The strategic part was with way too much emphasis. And the emotional line rather crazyish: You get employed by a guy #1 > You run from him >> You screw lots of guys (implied) >>> You screw some stranger somewhere on a business trip (#2) >>>> Y...
When I read this 4 years ago, I only had a little to say, but let's start with it:Heckuva ride. Vanessa Michael Munroe is Lisbeth Salander with a healthier mental state (not saying she's perfectly well adjusted...she's just better adjusted). Same intensity, same ferocity, same tenacity. A character...
Nothing new here. But the West African setting makes 'The Informationist' a better thriller/adventure read. Also, the protagonist's back story is, if not believable, interesting. This is the first book in the "Vanessa “Michael” Munroe series and I will read another one".
In her first novel in her Vanessa Michael Munroe series, Taylor Stevens has Michael going back to Africa where she was created into the woman she is now: Vanessa Michael Munroe deals in information. She has the ability to get information that no one else is able to obtain and she goes through some...
Thank you to the author and publisher for the copy via netgalley.Vanessa “Michael” Munroe deals in information—expensive information—working for corporations, heads of state, private clients, and anyone else who can pay for her unique brand of expertise. A Texas oil billionaire has hired her to find...
The Informationist has one of the most daring and distinctive heroines I've personally read about. Vanessa Michael Monroe is practically a force of nature. Her personality is hard to pin down, even if you know her very well, which few people do. And she makes a very bad enemy. While some charact...
3.5 starsThis loses 1/2 a star simply because the narrator was a tad monotone. I loved the accents, though!I enjoyed this. A lot. It was quickly paced and action packed. The big "who dunnit" wasn't such a shock but it was still well told and explained.
Not a bad globe trotting, super heroine type thriller when the narrative focused on the current day plot (though the twists and turns were pretty predictable) but really bogged down with all the lead character's tortured past sections. This is another Anthony Award nominee for best first novel and ...
I started out thinking I wasn't going to like this novel, but ended up really enjoying it. In the first few pages, there were several bits of language that seemed really clunky and poorly written, and I was about to decide I didn't want to bother trying to read something with such distractingly poor...
This book was a solid debut by Taylor Stevens. Vanessa Munroe is definitely an odd but interesting character but I don't quite agree completely with the Lisbeth Salander comparisons. In the beginning I had a hard time keeping my interest in this book but after the first 100 pages it became much more...
