THE RIVALS Claudia Lin, Book 2

This sequel to THE VERIFIERS more than lives up to the first audiobook in the series. Claudia Lin is juggling dysfunctional relationships with her mother and her siblings; an attraction to her co-worker Becks, as well as a crush on a woman she meets as part of a case; and investigating the death of a man who came to her company for help. Narrator Eunice Wong is so engaged with the story that she becomes Claudia, and her dynamic delivery is absorbing. Claudia is a fan of mystery novels and spy movies, and the plot twists and turns as the Verifiers work to get to the bottom of nefarious things that online-matchmaking tech companies may be doing behind the scenes. Listeners will be effortlessly drawn in. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2024]
