No One Lives Twice: A humorous geek girl mystery Julie Moffett August 1, 2. I'm Lexi Carmichael, geek extraordinaire. I spend my days stopping computer hackers at the National Security Agency. Those I spend avoiding my mother and eating cereal for dinner.
Even though I work for a top-secret agency, I've never been in an exciting car chase, sipped a stirred not shaken martini, or shot a poison dart from an umbrella. Until today, that is, when two gun-toting thugs popped up in my life and my best friend disappeared. So, I've enlisted the help of the Zimmerman twins—the reclusive architects of America's most sensitive electronic networks—to help me navigate a bewildering maze of leads to find her.
Along the way, my path collides with a sexy government agent and a rich, handsome lawyer, both of whom seem to have the hots for me.

Why while the first was humorous and elicited a few snickers I found myself Down" before you read the first book of the series 'No One Lives Twice". . A ditzy geek girl hacks through life, work, and love leaving mayhem and laughs behind.
When she got home she found her apartment thoroughly thrashed with yet another guy waiting. He made the same request using the same convincing argument and asked her to give him the papers the moment she has them. Lexi still might have had a slight hope of staying out of this, but it was shattered shortly when her neighbor brought her the package in question which was delivered to the neighbor instead of Lexi.
It also turned out Lexi's friend who sent her the papers disappeared without a trace leaving our poor heroine to deal with the mess. Even from my description of the beginning of the book you might have guessed it is full of cliches. Lexi works for NSA which practically nobody consider good guys these days, and for a good reason: I am an IT professional so some of the descriptions of computer-related activities felt like they were written by a person who never approached a computer closer than a couple of miles.
I strongly suspect professional biologists would feel the same regarding some other moments of the book. What is the romantic cliche practically everybody hates and are still held dear by romance writers? I am happy to say there is none here. Instead we have a love octagon at least as a bunch of handsome guys kept falling at Lexi's feet.

So it sounds like I would have with a passion, right? Wrong as I enjoyed reading the book. I flew through it in three days considering that these were really busy days for me. Humor most definitely helped as well as Lexi's attitude. Lexi being a geek who hates shopping and does not think math is incomprehensibly difficult was another positive side. I am tired of bimbo types of women seemingly very common in literature. Lexi is not one of them. The mystery itself is quite intriguing and complicated with several interesting and unexpected twists.
As redundant as it sounds, I read mystery books for a good mystery; this one delivers. Finally the writing style makes it a very easy mindless fun read. If you manage to suspend your disbelief you are in for a fast ride. The final rating is 4 stars - to my complete surprise. To be honest, I started this book five times before I finally read it.
Now this might sound like a bad thing, but we have Mrs. Goodwin's Fifth Grade Class at Duwamish Elementary School in what's now a long gone part of Seattle, but back in , she would give credit for reading a whole book if you read the first five chapters.
If after the first five chapters the author hadn't gotten your attention, she gave you credit for trying and you were free to move on. In fifth grade only one book failed her litmus test for me, Emile and the Detectives. As an adult, all sorts of books have failed, but not this one. By the time I reached Chapter Five I was so hopelessly hooked, I could barely stand to put the book down to get any sleep, much less stop reading the thing.
No One is the introductory novel to the Lexi Carmichael legacy of one girl's travel from NSA desk jockey to, well where, frankly, I'm not sure where at this point, I stopped to encourage people like me to read books like this hopefully that will be people like you. Lexi is a minding her own business on her way from work to being set up by her beautiful wealthy mother her father lovingly indulges her mother, but doesn't really participate in these set ups with dinner at her parents lavish home in Washington DC when she discovers herself being mugged for something she doesn't have.
By the time she escapes the mugger, reaches her parents' home, discovers she's been set up for dinner with a CPA who thinks he's all that and a bag of chips and decides she's a secretary instead of the anti-hacker she is since she's a girl, any woman working in IT must read this dinner scene if nothing else, you'll be erecting shrines to Julie Moffett in your front yard! And this is long before the fifth chapter. Listen, it's good, it's funny in the right places, it even has a plot. I just finished Book 9 of this series.
I recommend this entire series enthusiastically. The characters are likable, human, and engaging, the dialogue is natural, the plots are creative, the settings are sometimes exotic, and every single book leaves the reader feeling good. I'm so happy to have caught this series when there were 9 books already published. Now I have to wait for number 10, but I'm a very willing series aficionado and I think I can manage to wait.
I bought this because it was less expensive to purchase the audiobook when the Kindle version was bought first and I had an interest in the title. It's an ok read, but not a riveting one. I don't think I'll be buying any of the other books in the series. I suppose the writing is acceptable after all, Ms.
Moffett accomplished the not so mean feat of getting published , but the narration of the audiobook version was unimpressive in my view. I was disinclined to read the Kindle version at all. I listened to most of the book but never bothered to finish listening before starting a new audiobook title. See all reviews.
