I don't usually write reviews because of the usual suspects: dealing with kids, housework, husband, overall laziness... And I can't remember the last time I read a book so enjoyable that I gave a shout-out on Facebook AND gave it 5 stars. But, yeah, it's that much fun.
Lexi Carmichael is your typical computer geek though she has no cell phone in an attempt to avoid her former Miss America, overbearing mother (hey, the book was published in 2010, so probably written before that, so I can suspend disbelief about a geek not having a smart phone for now). She works for the NSA and becomes involved in an international conspiracy, thanks to her BFF who puts her name on evidence that a ton of bad guys, as well as various spies, would love to get their hands on.
What I enjoyed most about this book was that the female main character was active. She wasn't some passive player who kept having things happen to her. Lexi used her wit to solve the case and keep all the players on their toes.
And the laughs? Oh, man! I was laughing so hard at poor Lexi's seduction scene that tears were pouring from my eyes. It takes a lot to make me laugh out loud when I read a light mystery (and I read a lot of them). To make me laugh like that takes talent.
If you enjoy a fun, light mystery with a lot of laughs and some steamy scenes, buy this book. You won't be disappointed.

No One Lives Twice
No One Lives Twice by Julie MoffetLexi Carmichael series #1. Contemporary (2010) mystery suspense series.Lexi is a self proclaimed geek. She works for the National Security Agency as a computer hacker. Her life is predictable going to the office every day until a friend disappears and Lexi finds herself in an active investigation. Lexi gets help from friends that speak the language of computer networks and finds herself confronted by gun carrying dangerous thugs. Will her training be enough for her to survive, let alone find her friend?An entertaining mystery and suspense where Lexi finds herself working with two different handsome men to find her friend. But are they both on the same side or are they just using her to find Basia?I loved Lexi’s non-stop attitude and her dedication to her friend. The book was a little longer than I’m used to at 489 pages in the paperback copy. That’s probably why I waited so long to finally read it. I’m glad I did and I’m looking forward to reading more adventures and if there will be romance or not and what kind of trouble she stirs up.
