ane Nelson's world is turned upside down when, upon doing research for her web design company, she inadvertently joins a chat room where the group is not discussing fishing tactics, but plans that will line their pockets and ruin thousands financially. Caught lurking, Jane goes on the run and winds up seeking help from Jack, a gentleman who's private emails to his wife she accidentally received in error. Will Jane and Jack be able to uncover the people behind this conspiracy with their lives in tact? Or will they be found and silenced like the others who have crossed their path?Takedown by Anna Murray is a very fast paced read. The characters were fun and well developed. I genuinely liked Jane. She was intelligent, spunky and had a great sense of humor. Jake was a true gentleman and you came to feel for the guy once learning all he has been going through.Murray takes the reader on a whirl wind ride of intrigue and conspiracy with an added touch of romance that was pleasant to read without overpowering the rest of the story. For me, there is a fine line between fast paced edge of your seat action and suspense and a story being too fast and furious. My personal opinion is that Takedown  leaned to the side of too fast, as in things seemed to get wrapped up entirely too quickly and cleanly to make the story believable.Even with Takedown being a bit to cleanly wrapped up, for me, I still enjoyed the story and the characters and would definitely suggest this one for others to read.
