The Verifiers

Fantastic, multi-layered mystery that I could not put down. Things I loved: the meta references to Inspector Yuan were wonderful for a reader like me who loves classic detective stories. I enjoyed learning about Lin family dynamics. Every character was well-developed, especially Claudia, her family, and her coworkers at Veracity. The mystery pacing was excellent, enough clues to keep me hooked while adding lots of literary flair. And lastly the topic of internet privacy and machine learning, two huge issues with so many moral questions and considerations, I really loved where the author took this story. I'm still thinking about its implications.

Genre-bending, character growth, and a little futuristic, I hope to dive back into Pek's world again soon.
