Synopsis (Goodreads):
SWFG: Single, White, Female, Geek.

That’s me, Lexi Carmichael, a reformed hacker who was gainfully employed by the National Security Agency. But a series of extraordinary events led me to leave government life behind for a fresh start with a brand-new company and an incredibly sexy boss, Finn Shaughnessy. It may not be kosher to have the hots for your boss, but he seems to have the hots for me, too. If only things didn’t get so complicated…

Darren Greening, a genius researcher from Flow Technologies (our first client!) is missing, and his bosses think I’m involved. And they aren’t the only ones—the man who nearly snapped my neck in the parking garage thinks so, too.

Now I’m caught in the middle of a complex and dangerous case. I’ll have to use all my geek skills and a little help from my friends to solve the mystery of Darren’s disappearance before Neck-Snapping-Man makes a return visit…
Thoughts on No One to Trust: There were a couple of early Lexi Carmichael books I missed and, well, here I am. Catching up (after the fact) on the chaotic, oft-times dangerous situations Lexi gets herself into. And when I say chaotic, let it be known I'm referring to being caught nekkid in her boss's apartment (in what is actually a mostly innocent, yet highly odd set of circumstances). Oh, Lexi. Never change.

So. Lexi gets dragged into a search for a missing person. It's a little more complicated than that, really, but that's the heart of it. Unraveling the clues as to how and why she's been singled out as the point person on this sends the ex-hacker down a few rabbit holes. Oh, and she's kinda sorta dating her boss. In a weird, roundabout way. But not really at the same time.

Look, Lexi's complicated. No, that's not right. Lexi is extremely straightforward and that tends to trip her up at times. Which is hilarious and how that nekkid in her boss's apartment thing sort of happened.

Regardless, Lexi follows clues, skirts danger, and tries to navigate the wilds of social interactions. I'm kinda digging this look back!
