The Murder Machine by Heather Graham is a thought provoking and chilling mystery/thriller. Ideal for a time when A.I. is a prominent topic of discussion and debate.

A woman is found dead in a house completely controlled by A.I. Not only music and television but doors, appliances and water faucets. Virtually everything inside the home can be run by a simple request. Without evidence of a break in or anyone else being in the house, FBI Agent Jude Mackenzie feels it must be the result of a freak accident, possibly a suicide. When Special Agent Victoria Tennant arrives on the scene she informs him of other cases she is working on that may involve cybercrime and that what she has observed of the crime scene has her feeling the victim may also have been a target of the same type of crime. As more similar cases emerge time is slipping away. Are these crimes connected? Are they just unfortunate accidents or is something more sinister going on? Together they work to discover the link between the crimes and hopefully find who is behind the curtain, or rather computer, giving the instructions to turn machines into murderers.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

How can a murder possibly occur in such a highly-protected, technologically-advanced home. When on FBI agent can find a clue, another is brought in become of the high tech aspects. Unfolding the case is the author’s experts, and once again the reader is entertained.
