I won this book via goodreads from firstreads in a giveaway, and am so glad I was picked as a winner! I love thrillers and just came out of a book called Black Fridays that had to do with stock broker embezzlement and a heartfelt story behind it, and I have to say although I loved both books Exit Strategy went the extra mile with details on money laundering! Coleen Cross has a niche for writing and can't wait to read more of this fantastic writing style. I am a person with many questions and go...more
The first in the Katerina Carter series, Cross introduces us to forensic accountant Katerina Carter, who goes above and beyond to solve what turns into international crimes.
Thought not be to be smart enough to uncover the truth, Carter is hired by Liberty Diamond Mines to find five billion dollars that went missing, along with Paul Bryant, the company’s Chief Financial Officer. Unfortunately for the criminals, Carter is not as stupid as they believed her to be.

Pretty near anyone. Don't think kids or YA would be interested due to financial theme.
I had no idea what a forensic accountant was until reading this novel. (Such an accountant tracks down missing money in cases of financial wrong-doing.) I certainly had no idea that a story about a forensic accountant could be exciting, suspenseful, and scary.
Forensic accountant Katarina (Kat) Carter is called in when five billion dollars goes missing from a Canadian corporation mining diamonds. She can't figure out why they called her. She's the least important investigator of her kind in town,...more

Forensic accountant Katerina (Kat) Carter has her own new practice, but business is slow and she’s so broke that she is forced to live in her office. When she’s hired to find Liberty Diamond Mines’ missing $5 billion and its CFO, she takes the job, despite a couple of red flags and an impossibly short deadline. In Kat’s profession, little is what it seems at first glance. This time, the paper trail leads straight into physical danger.

I really enjoyed this book! I wouldn't have thought a book about financial crime could be so entertaining but the main character, Kat Carter, is incredibly likeable and I couldn't help but cheer her on as she worked her way out of the predicaments she stumbled into. Most of the reading I do is before bedtime and I found there was just enough suspense to keep me turning the pages but not so much that it kept me awake at night. I'm looking forward to reading more from Colleen Cross in the future!
In Exit Strategy, Colleen Cross weaves a gripping tale of international intrigue that links the world of high finance to diamond smuggling. Her story takes us on a wild ride as Kat, her witty and feisty investigator, races against the clock to recover billions of stolen dollars while evading the wrath of organized crime. This well-crafted thriller with nonstop action keeps you flipping the pages to the very end to find out what happens next!
In Exit Strategy the reader follows forensic accountant Kat Carter on a international $5 billion fraud ivestigation. Cross pulls you into the story as Kat is immersed in the intriguing and dangerous world of blood diamond laundering. Once she has drawn you in, Colleen Cross keeps keeps you flipping pages in this a fast paced adventure by introducing many plot twists that will keep you guessing until the very end.
I didn’t think it could happen but, by the time I finished reading EXIT STATEGY, I felt I understood the world of money laundering, big corporations and the role of forensic accountants in following the money. Five stars for EXIT STRATEGY and I’m looking forward to the next Kat Carter adventure.

Brief synopsis of what this book is about: Diamond Laundering and a detective who is on a mission to figure out what really happened and where the money laundering went, even though everyone involved starts getting killed off. When she realizes that they are after her, she doesn't stop her investigation. When she is fired from the investigation, she doesn't stop. She doesn't stop until the case is solved (GO GIRL!).

this was a very good book, well written. One thing is there was so much talk about stock stuff that it did get a little mundane but I know feel like I can buy and sell stock pretty easy ;) I would recommend this book to anyone that loves a great murder thriller mystery book!
This book has three of my favorite things in fiction: excitement, intelligence, and a strong female heroine! Looking forward to Katerina Carter's next adventure!
Unique characters, original premise, interesting story and good execution. Highly recommend Coleen Cross's "Exit Strategy". More good news; it's the first of a series. I'll be downloading the next "Game Theory" tonight.
What a nice change....fraud big time. Murder, intrigue. Nicely drawn characters and action. Enjoyed this first in the series and just downloaded the next.
Full recommend. Good Read.
