About this listen
“A stone-cold banger of a novel—a twisty journey through Silicon Valley’s dark side, wrapped in a stunning mystery package with some wild surprises along the way.”—Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter
“Terrific . . . an unpredictable nesting-box of surprises.”—The New York Times Book Review
Don’t call me a fixer. This isn’t HBO.
In her job as unofficial “problem solver” for Silicon Valley’s most ruthless venture capitalist, Mackenzie Clyde’s gotten used to playing for high stakes. Even if none of those tech-bro millions she’s so good at wrangling ever make it into her pockets.
But this time, she’s in way over her head—or so it seems.
The lightning-rod CEO of tech’s hottest startup has just been murdered, leaving behind billions in “dead money” frozen in his will. As the company’s chief investor, Mackenzie’s boss has a fortune on the line—and with the police treading water, it’s up to Mackenzie to step up and resolve things, fast.
Mackenzie’s a lawyer, not a detective. Cracking this fiendishly clever killing, with its list of suspects that reads like a who’s-who of Valley power players, should be way out of her league.
Except that Mackenzie’s used to being underestimated. In fact, she’s counting on it.
Because the way she sees it, this isn’t an investigation. It’s an opportunity. And she’ll do anything it takes to seize it.
Anything at all.
Featuring jaw-dropping twists and a wily, outsider heroine you can’t help rooting for, Dead Money is a brilliant sleight-of-hand mystery. Written by a longtime insider, it is also a dead-on snapshot of the Valley’s rich and famous—and a glimpse at the darkness lurking behind the tech world’s cheery facade.

FBI Agent Gardner Camden is an analytical genius with an affinity for puzzles. He also has a blind spot on the human side of investigations, a blindness that sometimes even includes people in his own life, like his beloved seven-year-old daughter Camila. Gardner and his squad of brilliant yet quirky agents make up the Patterns and Recognition (PAR) unit, the FBI’s hidden edge, brought in for cases that no one else can solve. When DNA links a murder victim to a serial killer long presumed dead, the team springs into action.

It’s a Friday night in a campus bar in Berkeley, fall of 2000, and Percy Marks is pontificating about music again. Hall and Oates is on the jukebox, and Percy—who has no talent for music, just lots of opinions about it—can’t stop herself from overanalyzing the song, indulging what she knows to be her most annoying habit. But something is different tonight. The guy beside her at the bar, fellow student Joe Morrow, is a songwriter. And he could listen to Percy talk all night. Joe asks Percy for feedback on one of his songs—and the results kick off a partnership that will span years.

Reading between the lines of a cryptic series of equations, he could open a door straight into the heart of the Kremlin and change the global balance of power forever.

Character voices are unbearable
It’s almost impossible to rate the actual book because the narrator’s character voices are so affected. It’s really a shame because her regular voice isn’t bad. I am about to give up on the novel because of this.

Good but not ideal for audiobook
Overall I enjoyed the story but naming a primary character Stanley Yu and then referring to him as “Yu” the entire book made it impossible to discern who was being discussed, particularly when someone is being spoken to directly. Ie “we thought you did this but then we found out that Yu actually it” - in writing you can tell the difference but in audiobook it’s impossible 90% of the time and it made a huge difference in many of the principal scenes.
Switching the audiobook to refer to him as Stanley in most cases would have made a world of difference in the audible experience.

Great Plot, Abysmal Audio Quality
The title could have benefitted greatly from an additional male narrator. Many of the female characters were conveyed with a soft whisper-like performance, almost inaudible without adjusting volume, resulting in a frustrating listening experience. I finished the book because I had to find out how it ended but man, it was a struggle.

Good to the last twist
Very artfully constructed plot, and a carefully crafted and timed backstory that gives complete credibility to the heroine’s choices. The depiction of egos and backstabbing in the VC and tech worlds is both fun and appalling. The plugs for this book were right on the (Dead) Money. I’m glad I jumped on it quickly, and had the patience and trust in the author to let the story unwind and build organically.

I would edit this to make it a tad less wordy in parts in order to keep the story moving along. Gets a little talky. But overall a fun read and will make a great movie. 😉
