Many thanks to NetGalley, Avon/Harper 360 for gifting me a digital ARC of this stand-alone thriller by Helen Fields. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Midnight Jones is a data analyst for Necto Corporation in London. After a potential employee or student takes a Netco-developed test, she analyzes the data to determine the person's fit for that position. When she gets a profile completely off the charts, she tries to tell her superiors that she received a Profile K - which they all said doesn't exist and is strictly a training protocol. But Midnight is convinced that she uncovered a very dangerous person, one who may kill again.
This one was definitely dark, but completely fascinating, partly because with AI and technology advances, you can see how something like this test software could be on the horizon. Midnight is a wonderful character, as she devotes all non-working hours to care for her twin sister, Dawn. Midnight didn't know who she could trust and felt completely let down by everyone she went to for help. The murderer's story was beyond creepy, but I flew through this one. As always with Fields' books, it's immersive, tense, and gripping.
