Caroline Auden is a former computer programmer with a dark hacking past. In an attempt to move on with her life, she went to law school and right after graduation was hired by her mentor at a firm in California. Right off the bat she is handed her first case, one with difficult complications. The case is to prove that a certain brand of soy milk is causing kidney failure. Initial assessments seem like there won't be a way to make the kidney failure connection, but Caroline's computer skills won't hold her back from probing further.
I was definitely surprised by this one. The author is a lawyer herself, so that added some authenticity. It was a quick read and looks like it will be a series not unlike other legal thrillers from bigger names. There is a bit of a twist at the end, which was nice, but a bit anti-climatic. I feel like there should have been a much angrier response from the main character. Anyways, I'd be interested to read more in the future.
