Who knew that forensic accounting could be so interesting?
Forensic accounting seems like a dry, dull subject ... but this well-crafted mystery shows how very interesting it can be. Plot includes banking, real estate, investments, software development, office politics... and I loved the beautiful illustrations. Made me want to go sailing in Maine! Definitely plan to read more from this author!
