About this title

Synopsis:

While Alison Hope puts her life on the line in London in a case of computer fraud, Inspector Nick Trevellyan, her beau, remains in their English country village to track down a rapist

From Booklist:

With a title like this, readers may wrongly assume that Kelly's latest is either a soap opera or a romantic thriller. Wrong. Hope isn't an emotion here; it's the surname of the intrepid heroine, Alison Hope, computer whiz and owner of a highly successful London software firm. No raven-haired romantic, Hope is smart, shrewd, and independent, as her cop boyfriend, Inspector Nick Trevellyan, can attest. Kelly's third book in her rather unfortunately named "Hope" series has Alison helping her friend Philip discover which of his employees is playing a nasty game of computer fraud. Meanwhile, Nick is determined to find the rapist who has already victimized two teenage girls in the small village of Hopbridge. Kelly has skillfully interwoven a whole series of lively subplots with the Alison/Nick storylines, and she's created a cast of appealing characters who are variously shy, bold, earnest, eccentric, tough, funny, and odious. There's humor, action, suspense, and romance--in short, all the right ingredients to make this mystery a winner. Emily Melton
