COBRA POSE Yoga Mat Mysteries, Book 2

Rupert Degas showcases his talents in this Australian mystery involving cyberterrorism, kidnapping, and romance. At the same time that yoga instructor Elaina Williams's father vanishes, sadistic "dark hat" hackers set out to bring down global banking. Luckily, Elaina's heartthrob, Ric, a photojournalist, seems to do more than take pictures during his international travels. The pair work together to get to the bottom of the plot. There are fine descriptive passages, suspense, and ample cyberspeak in this story. Degas shows his vocal reach by portraying Balkan terrorists, a cast of distinctively rendered Aussie agents, and the odd Brit and Yank. Listeners will appreciate his accents, pacing, facility with emotions, and overall competence in this techno-thriller. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
