Publishers Weekly,In the quirky, engrossing fourth "techno-cozy" from Agatha Award-winner Andrews (after 2004's Access Denied), Alexandria, Va., PI Tim Pincoski and his buddy, Turing-an Artificial Intelligence Personality-are hired by Eunice Stallman, whose 22-year-old grandson, Eddie, has landed in the hospital after a hit-and-run. Mrs. Stallman wants Tim and Turing to investigate not the accident (which may have been not so accidental) but her grandson's computer company. The mysteries quickly multiply: is innocent-looking granny really who she claims to be? Was Eddie responsible for a phishing scheme that bilked innocent e-mailers out of thousands of dollars? This novel lacks the local color and charming cast of Andrews's popular Meg Lanslow series (Owls Well That Ends Well, etc.), but it's full of surprising twists and turns and should keep techies glued to the page.
