Great story of a detective investigating a suspected murder related to a company involved in AI . An interesting secondary story of Nick and his past makes this story more personal and fascinating regarding memory and their interpretation.

This had everything that I was looking for from a mystery novel, it had everything that I was looking for and enjoyed from the genre. The characters were everything that I was hoping for and enjoyed getting to know them. D.V. Chernov has a great writing style and enjoyed getting to read this. It uses the psychological twists that I wanted and was glad I got to read this. I can't wait to read more from the author and glad it was so well done.

In the small town of Pine Lake, Colorado, Lisa Benoche is dead, and an audio recording threatens to turn what looks like a suicide into the first murder investigation the town has seen in many years. As the rookie detective Nick Severs digs deeper into the high-tech motives surrounding her death, he has no idea that a female hacktivist group have already set their sights on him, and that a dark chapter from his own past is about to catch up to him! This book was definitely a bit different! At times it was a bit out there! It was a very interesting read! The storyline kept me glued to my kindle! There was suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, mind control, and some crazy twists and turns! I definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Severed Echoes is an interesting, pacy, twisty murder mystery featuring Nick Severs, a detective from Pine Lake PD, the smallest of small town police departments. Cyber technology is a key feature in the story and the author does an excellent job of making that technology accessible to the average reader. A satisfying read although one or two of the twists were relatively easy to see coming.

The story revolves around two main themes - the legal and illegal collection and use of personal data by big business; and the activities of a group of female cyber vigilantes seeking out male wrong-doers and meting out their own brand of extrajudicial justice. Both are themes which pose some interesting moral and ethical questions.

Nick Severs is a detective in the small town of Pine Lake.
Nick discovers a suicide that is not what it seems, a murder investigation is then launched.

This a griping crime thriller with many twists and turns, that you will not see coming.

I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
