[Vicki Gooding · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the funniest books I've ever read in addition to being an exceptional cozy mystery. The story consists of a male/female computer investigative company, (who also happens to be lovers) from CA who is hired by his ex-girlfriend in Houston to investigate computer hacking at NASA. The story has astronauts, a space shuttle, picketers from the left wing out front every day, lots of tension inside and even the possibility of space aliens. Cozy situations with her boyfriend and his ex, the help of her best friend, and her dog Cosmos make for a delightful read. In addition to a difficult to break code from the hacker, and murder makes for an interesting combination, completed by wit. I just couldn't put the book down. Big thumbs up.

This is a decent book. Fiction about computer PI's trying to solve a hacking mystery at NASA in Houston.

The situation degenerates with a couple murders and a lot of apparently weird happenings. All told from a woman's viewpoint.
