The Digital Detective Mystery #2
Fatal Error
Sometimes the rules can take a hike.
Tech mage Skye Sanders is a stickler for the truth—and for rules. That is, until her friend Fred is accused of murder.
Skye’s 98.5% sure Fred didn’t do it, though his public blowout with the victim doesn’t look great. With the only other suspect boasting an airtight alibi, the police seem all too eager to pin it on Fred.
Enter Seb, a vampire with beautiful brown eyes, and secrets of his own. Skye isn’t sure she can trust him, but with sparks flying and time running out, she may have to risk letting him get closer… even if it means diving into dangerous vampire politics.
Can Skye uncover the truth before she lands in the crosshairs herself?
★★★

About the author
P.L. Matthews
9 books32 followersI love crafting stories that blend humour and romance, featuring strong and vibrant characters. Themes of family, friendship, and personal growth are at the heart of my writing. In my stories, I believe in embracing the light because life is too short for darkness.
When the waves are just right—warm and gentle—I fearlessly plunge into the ocean, catching waves like a pro surfer (lots of splashing anyway). Surfing is my sanctuary and my sweet escape.
The piano is my favourite instrument, but my persuasive husband encouraged me to pick up a guitar and learn to strum along (he needed someone to play the chorus). To my surprise, I now rock the guitar, (enthusiasm counts, right?) playing and singing along to my favourite tunes.
So, if you're ready for a spellbinding journey through the realms of urban fantasy and murder mysteries, buckle up and dive into my captivating stories. Prepare to be transported to a world where supernatural beings walk among us and the line between reality and fantasy blurs in the most mesmerising ways.

Good
Skye, the techmage sylph is back in this book, and back to investigating murders when one of her parkour friends is accused of killing his workmate.
Skye and her friends don’t believe Fred is capable, of the crime, but that doesn’t help him. Fortunately Skye has made some friends in high places, and is more than willing to use both them, and her techmage skills to help!
We get to see some old friends in this book, both from the first book in the Digital Detective series, and from the Green Witch Mystery series.
It’s a standalone story though, only mentioning the events from the first book (which I do recommend reading first even though I don’t think it’s strictly necessary), and ending on a book hook for the next book.
With plenty of action, and even a little romance, this is a fun fantasy mystery to read. There are some very interesting insights into Skye’s past in this one, which is more than worth the read by itself!
If you enjoy a little mystery in your urban fantasy (or urban fantasy in your mystery), and want a series that’s lighthearted, enjoyable and with a solveable mystery (more or less, Skye does like to keep her observations to herself, annoyingly), then this unique, fresh take on the genre is a great read for you.

Good who done it.
Like the first novel this one was well done. Good writing, complete story with no cliffhanger. Just an epilogue teaser to the next book. Light on the romance. I wouldn’t mind a bit deeper to the growing romance in the next novel.
