Book Review: Calculated Deception (The Calculated Series #1) by K.T. Lee

Calculated Deception (The Calculated, #1)
Title: Calculated Deception (The Calculated Series #1) 

Author: K.T. Lee 

Stars: 4 out of 5

Review:
As a readers I was worried when the synopsis as well as the title of the book started with Math or Science terms.  I have found two types of author the ones that dive deep into the world to the point readers might get lost with the technical terms and lose force on the mystery or those who skim the technical terms  and focus on the wider audience and the mystery. K.T. Lee takes the wider audience side and for that I am grateful.
The author is able is able to bring her characters to life as they walk off the pages of the story and into the readers hearts.
The chapters are short, easy to read making it perfect for the parents watching a their 4 year old play a sport (AKA) Stand in the field looking at the birds)
Calculated Deception is a fun quick read that mystery fans will enjoy.

Synopsis:
Dr. Ree Ryland is an engineering professor who loves her job and plays by the rules. Her life is reassuringly predictable – until an enemy hiding in plain sight decides her squeaky-clean reputation is the perfect cover to commit a crime. 

When Agent Parker Landon and his FBI team discover that someone at the university has been procuring military-grade hardware by disguising it as test equipment, all evidence points to Ree. After the FBI intercepts a shipment that puts Ree in the clear, Parker is forced to tell her that she’s being used as a pawn by an unseen enemy. And now she’s in that enemy’s crosshairs. Ree turns down the protective detail offered by the FBI and insists on using her inside knowledge to help with the investigation. Parker is leery of bringing a civilian on to the team, but he’s surprised at how much fun he has working with Ree, even as he tries to keep her out of harm’s way. 

Parker, Ree and the FBI team find increasingly worrying evidence that someone is quietly acquiring everything they need to cause destruction on a massive scale. Now, they must uncover the motive and identity of the killer hiding among Ree’s friends and colleagues before it’s too late.

  1. Get a good mentor or coaching center, expect you'll learn for your
    own pace, and keep with it. This descends the chance of losing the hardly
    earned commission as some distrustful merchants can tend to disappear through away your commissions.
    Without proper and accurate implementation, your marketing efforts can certainly in zero or produce very scarce results.

  2. It's in fact very complicated in this busy life to listen news on TV,
    thus I just use web for that purpose, and take the hottest information.
