However, the lack of 'cat and mouse' does make for an especially slow burn and the ending isn't the crescendo you would expect from most books billed as a 'thriller'. I would suggest this is a read for someone who enjoys excellent characterisation and a nuanced view of women in tech, racism in the United States and other issues connected to the rise and rise of Silicon Valley.
