Crime thriller bestseller fans of James Patterson and Michael Connelly will love these heart-stopping mystery thrillers by bestselling author Colleen Cross!
Exit Strategy
Blood diamonds and a deadly secret....
Out of work and running out of money, private investigator and fraud expert Katerina Carter desperately needs more clients or she’ll be forced to go crawling back to a cubicle at her previous firm, a fate worse than debt.
So when Liberty Diamond Mines CEO Susan Sullivan hires Kat to find Liberty’s missing CFO and a large sum of embezzled money, she’s eager to accept the job. But her excitement soon turns to terror when two company employees are brutally murdered.
Game Theory
What money can’t buy, murder can.
Someone is siphoning funds from billionaire Zachary Barron’s currency hedge fund. Intent on prosecuting the thief to the fullest extent of the law, he hires Katerina “Kat” Carter, the best forensic accountant in the business, to follow the money trail. Both are shocked when it leads to Zachary’s father, Nathan.
And he’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Nathan belongs to a shadowy organization with global ties and unimaginable resources. They already control the banking industry and the media, but their ultimate goal - the collapse of the global currency market and a new world order - will soon be within reach.
Kat may be all that stands in their way. But for how long?
The organization learns of her involvement and sends a warning. She knows it will be her last - others who have tried to foil their agenda have met with violent deaths.
If Kat walks away and keeps her mouth shut, she’ll look over her shoulder for the rest of her life in a world she’ll scarcely recognize. Ignoring the threat makes her and everyone she cares about a target...or a potential traitor.
Blowout
A sinister crime lies deep underwater...
On fraud investigator Katerina Carter’s trip to a remote island aboard a luxurious yacht, she suspects the boat’s slick and charming owner is hiding a dark secret. With her cunning instinct for sniffing out malevolent cons, Kat tries to warn her friends that something is very wrong with their host and that his moneymaking scheme smells fishy.
And why is she only one who thinks he’s not being completely honest?
While exploring the island, Kat and her friends research the rumors of a sinister cult, the Aquarian Foundation, and search for buried treasure. The cult swindled people out of their money and now the same situation is starting to eerily echo their present circumstances.
When Kat’s warnings fall on deaf ears, she uncovers a horrifying truth that will place those closest to her in mortal danger.

I truly enjoyed all three of these books. It is clear the author did a lot of research to build the main character. Kat is an intelligent ,strong lead character that I found myself routing for throughout the books. The third book seemed a bit out of place in the series, but on it's own was a good "read". I look forward to finding more Cross books.
The narrator did a fantastic job breathing life into these characters. Easy to listen to and I never had a question which character was "acting" at any given time. Truly enjoyable. Would opt for this narrator again in the future.
Strong female lead!

Katerina Carter (“Kat”) is a forensic fraud investigator that has left her firm to start her own forensic investigation business.
As an accountant myself, i found these stories completely intriguing. I absolutely loved how the so called "boring" profession has been developed into an exciting and heroic one! If you are not an accountant, do not worry! Everything is cleverly explained throughout the story so you you will not feel lost.
Story 1 – Exit strategy
Kat is broke and when she is hired to find a missing CFO and a significant amount of embezzled money, she accepts the case even though she has bad feelings about the situation. During her investigation people are murdered and she uncovers diamond laundering, false identities, and criminal mafia bosses putting her in grave danger.
Kat has multiple almost deaths on the story, and there are a number of twists and turns making you go on so called "wild goose chases" in your mind as to who the guilty party(ies) are. You will not find a quiet moment with this one! Its full of thrilling moments throughout!
Absolutely love it!! This book should be made into a movie its so good!!
Story 2 – Game Theory
A billionaire hires Kat to investigate his hedge fund embezzlement. She uncovers a secret company trying to control the world financial markets, a company that will stop at nothing to keep its secrets. During this investigation, Kat also tries to uncover who has stolen her uncle’s money, while he is suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Very fiesty story with additional emotional elements to keep the base story going. Very cleverly written and super enjoyable!!
Story 3 – Blowout
While cruising on a luxury yacht, Kat suspects the owner of dodgy dealings. When arriving at the island destination following the cruise, Kat and her friends learn of rumours of a cult cheating people out of their money. No-one believes Kat about her concerns so she must uncover the truth before those closest to her get hurt.
Very interesting story with fascinating facts revealed throughout. The story unravelled just at the right pace to keep me interested throughout.
Overall
The stories are action packed and exciting. There is also comedy interwoven throughout to add a bit of variety to the seriousness, as well as family drama varying the fast pace of the stories. The various aspects in Kat’s personal and professional life are masterfully interwoven and very cleverly thought out.
Petrea narrated all the books very well, and it was great to have continuity for the first three in the series. She varied the character voices very well.
Overall, the books are very enjoyable, suspenseful and riveting, each a masterful multidimensional puzzle uncovered perfectly through the story. They can all be read as stand-alone stories but I would absolutely recommend them all!
Note: This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this objective review voluntarily.
5 stars thrice, definite must reads is my advice!!
