About this ebook

The CLUE Awards for Thriller/Suspense Novels 2016 - Official Finalist!

When that cute chick you met online is murdered – but shows up for your next internet meeting anyway.

Marlow's just a regular geeky university freshman with little to no experience with girls, so when he has a semi-flirtatious chat with a cute girl online, it's almost more than his nerves can handle.
Then the girl is brutally murdered.

Or is she?

Marlow finds himself teamed up with intelligent and savvy Sage Farrell, a girl so far out of his league he feels blinded in her presence - literally - damned glasses! Together they work to find the identity of @gingerbreadman. Can they stop the killer before he strikes in more worlds than one? 

FRINGE meets ELEMENTARY in this Science Fiction Mystery Romantic Suspense by Amazon bestselling author Lee Strauss.

Ratings and reviews

Although it has a slow start, once the story gets going, it's hard to stop reading. I couldn't put the book down until I found out what happened.

Did I enjoy the story? Well, would assume that, as have read everything out available on kindle unlimited and possibly some that are available as subscriber or ARC team. Her style depends on which book/series, and haven't thought about it since like them all. Lot of them are available in single or set collections. A Nursery Rhyme Suspense - Books 1-3: A Marlow and Sage Mystery Thriller set which include Gingerbread Man then Picked up A Nursery Rhyme Suspense - Books 1-3: A Marlow and Sage Mystery Thriller set from KU so GingerBread Man, Life is But a Dream, Hickory Dictory Dock, and also Twinkle Little Star: A Marlow and Sage Mystery Thriller (A Nursery Rhyme Suspense Book 4) and read this one as well. I Spy with My Little Eye is short story with these characters, what was only available to her subscribers but is now available to everyone. I read Nursery Rhyme Suspense collection, Clockwise Collection, The Perception Trilogy, and others. Hoping to get time to read the 'historical' books soon as well.

Interesting premise, good characters. We'll written. I will read the author again. Thanks for an enjoyable experience.
