نقد و بررسی
Start with Erica Spindler, a bestselling author whose impeccable research creates fascinating characters caught in seemingly impossible situations. Add Lorelei King, a well-seasoned narrator with a remarkable range of convincing voices. The result is a tasty audiobook that will leave listeners wanting more. Violent Crimes Bureau detectives Kitt Lundgren and M.C. Riggio, of Rockford, Illinois, find themselves deep in cyberspace, hunting a cold-blooded killer who appears to target computer hackers. When M.C.'s fiancé, and then her cousin, become victims, her anguish and resolve become palpable in King's capable performance. Kitt sacrifices much to aid her partner, and King builds the tension between the two women in subtle, compelling ways. BREAKNECK operates at top speed, and listeners won't want to miss a single moment. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

Det. Kitt Lundgren and her partner, Mary Catherine Riggio, of the Rockford, Ill., Violent Crimes Bureau pursue a serial killer ripped from Internet urban legend in this unconvincing thriller from bestseller Spindler (Copycat
). When Riggio’s too-good-to-be-true fiancé is caught in the line of fire, the shooting at first appears to be unrelated to the murder spree of Breakneck, who targets computer-savvy 20-somethings. Of course, the connection is immediately obvious to readers, if not the veteran staff of the VCB. Lundgren’s preoccupied with mending her broken marriage while ambling toward career burnout, and Riggio doesn’t hesitate to throw out the procedural rulebook, eschewing her police training in a desperate search for the truth. Spindler strays from her comfort zone in tackling the mysterious world of cyber crime. Casting disaffected youth as criminal masterminds doesn’t ring true, while descriptions of technology and its applications are painstakingly overexplained.
