I like that it was another take on cozy mystery that had alot more rep both with lesbian main character but also chinease american character, I thought it was a fun read. I just did not love the mystery element or feel really connected to the dating world plot and mystery. It was a fun/ diverse read but it just did not wow me. ( ) I think this book was a fun read.

I just did not love the mystery element or feel really connected to the dating world plot and mystery. It was a fun/ diverse read but it just did not wow me. 2.5 Stars. Felt like more of a book about the concerns with data collection than an actual murder mystery. It was okay. Just don’t go into it for the mystery genre. Better for someone who is okay with literary fiction but slightly lighter and with a mystery edge. Despite the main character being obsessed with mysteries, she wasn’t that good of an amateur detective. To be perfectly honest, I read(/skimmed) the last 60-ish pages of this in the library parking lot because it was due. I somewhat enjoyed this book - the central mystery was intriguing, but I found that it fell apart around the 75% point... Suddenly I wasn't sure what the mystery was. Moving goalposts, and not in a skillful Tana French kind of way. I also felt a little unmoored in regards to the dating apps that were important to the plot and setting: is this supposed to be in our current world? A slightly different version of our current world? A not-too-distant future? I thought the family drama had potential, but it seemed too separate from the main plot so there needed to be more or less of it for it to work. I would read another Jane Pek book so I'm looking forward to more from her, because I enjoyed the writing quite a bit. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Introducing Claudia Lin: a sharp-witted amateur sleuth for the 21st century. This debut novel follows Claudia as she verifies people's online lives, and lies, for a dating detective agency in New York City. Until a client with an unusual request goes missing. . . . "The world of social media, big tech and internet connectivity provides fertile new ground for humans to deceive, defraud and possibly murder one another. . . . Well rendered and charming. . . . Original and intriguing." --The New York Times Book Review Claudia is used to disregarding her fractious family's model-minority expectations: she has no interest in finding either a conventional career or a nice Chinese boy. She's also used to keeping secrets from them, such as that she prefers girls--and that she's just been stealth-recruited by Veracity, a referrals-only online-dating detective agency. A lifelong mystery reader who wrote her senior thesis on Jane Austen, Claudia believes she's landed her ideal job. But when a client vanishes, Claudia breaks protocol to investigate--and uncovers a maelstrom of personal and corporate deceit. Part literary mystery, part family story, The Verifiers is a clever and incisive examination of how technology shapes our choices, and the nature of romantic love in the digital age.
