What a great mystery. The story line has Detective Ross, an old time, ways of the past, face to face person dealing with Apple’s Siri. Trying to solve mysteries with a computer voice that only understands direct, computer phrased questions is somewhat of an annoyance and frustration to the Detective, who is trying to ask questions that will be answered in the manner he intended them to be. Much of the time he just gives up, frustrated by the answer.The interaction between Siri and the Detective adds humor to a solid mystery story.I had no desire to stop reading, even when it was time to pick up the children from school, so I took my Kindle with me and boy did time fly. The usual annoyance of the wait for the children’s appearance vanished.As I continued to read it seemed like nothing I expected to happen did, there was always a twist or a turn to throw me off, which kept me solidly glued to the screen. Although the story ended, there is plenty of room for a sequel, I surely hope the author takes advantage of this and let’s me know what happens next!Siri does provide very accurate information and, in the end, helps solve the murder of 3 people.
