About this listen

 Governments pay her.
Criminals fear her.
Nobody sees her coming.

Vanessa “Michael” Munroe deals in information—expensive information—working for corporations, heads of state, private clients, and anyone else who can pay for her unique brand of expertise. Born to missionary parents in lawless central Africa, Munroe took up with an infamous gunrunner and his mercenary crew when she was just fourteen. As his protégé, she earned the respect of the jungle's most dangerous men, cultivating her own reputation for years until something sent her running. After almost a decade building a new life and lucrative career from her home base in Dallas, she's never looked back.

Until now.

A Texas oil billionaire has hired her to find his daughter who vanished in Africa four years ago. It’s not her usual line of work, but she can’t resist the challenge. Pulled deep into the mystery of the missing girl, Munroe finds herself back in the lands of her childhood, betrayed, cut off from civilization, and left for dead. If she has any hope of escaping the jungle and the demons that drive her, she must come face-to-face with the past that she’s tried for so long to forget.

The first book in the Vanessa Michael Munroe series, gripping, ingenious, and impeccably paced, The Informationist marks the arrival or a thrilling new talent.

“Stevens’s blazingly brilliant debut introduces a great new action heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, who doesn’t have to kick over a hornet’s nest to get attention, though her feral, take-no-prisoners attitude reflects the fire of Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander….Thriller fans will eagerly await the sequel to this high-octane page-turner.”

The reviews indicated an equalling thrilling story to match the King book. I didn't think that either the story was as rivetting as 11,22,63 and the narration definitely didn't equal Craig Wasson's. Maybe it's just me!

Disappointing after 11.22.63

I love strong female characters and this is just the kind of book I devour. The story rocks along at a good pace and is set in interesting parts of the world, but the lead character is totally unbelievable and ruins the book... Worshipped like a god, learns a language fluently in a week... and if that's not good enough, her knife skills are apparently better than her startlingly impressive linguistic abilities!! Why?? It was not necessary!!

The story was reasonably well written and had a good storyline, but was ruined by the laughably preposterous main character!! Shame, could have been great!!

Can't believe the reviews!!
