About this listen
The disappearance of a wealthy Brazilian industrialist’s daughter, Lara, causes Thiago to hire the world's most elite information-gathering unit, the R-Group, to quietly locate and return her.
Is the heiress in trouble and gone forever or merely hiding in plain sight to escape her destiny?
While vacationing in Mexico, Petra and Jacob, R-Group operatives, cross paths with “Bad Boys”, Carlos and Juan, who are cloaking their drug-lord moving business from satellite surveillance. These so-called entrepreneurs force even the most generous observer to question the legality of their business model.
If Carlos and Juan are identified, can they stop running outside the law long enough to do the right thing?
The R-Group members operating from South America, Mexico, and Switzerland are assembling the pieces of these puzzles while avoiding international consequences. Will they discover the culprits?
The award-winning Breakfield and Burkey story draws you into a techno-thriller that focuses on overcoming opportunistic cyber-crime in the high-stakes world of information brokering in today’s 21st century.
“…the story will hold readers’ attention until its unsettling conclusion.” (Kirkus)

being in IT, I thought the technical aspects were spot on. the level of detail was enough to carry the motion, but would not overwhelm a non-tech.
this being only my second in the series, I'm looking forward to the next!!
give it a go, it's enjoyable reading (listening), for sure!!
fantastic reading!

And while this book is good, I was slightly surprised that it didn't seem to be a continuation of the first, nor did it have the same amount of technology present. It seemed to be a side story. But don't let that make you think that the story wasn't good, it really was, it just wasn't what I expected.
I have a lot of the same comments with this book as I did with the last one regarding how forced the romance felt, however I did notice an improvement on character development with some of the background characters. A lot of the scenes carried more detailed descriptions which really improved the realisticness of the story; however the sex scenes (also present in the first book) also increased, which I certainly didn't care for.
So overall, I like the premise of the The Enigma series and so far I like the characters, but I'm not in love with it. The sex scenes present also repel me for enjoying it like I would've had they been left out. Because there are still 6 (almost 400 pages...) books left in the series, I'll likely not be finishing the entire series.

Not What I Expected

Narrator Derek Shoeles has a pleasant to hear voice and he reads well, with good pace and clear delivery. There is not much differentiation between voices, other than through myriad assorted accents, some sounding rather spurious, but this in no way diminishes the performance overall.
A good story is buried beneath the over-verbiage, however. A stand alone story, second in the series, which first introduced the Group and it''s cyber expertise as well some of the characters in book one. My thanks to the rights holder of The Enigma Rising for gifting me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom at my request and without expectation of any return. This review is entirely my own.
So cute when they become animated

It's also packed with twists and turns, although not so many that your head is spinning - they all make sense in retrospect. It's got some great ideas in here but also it's easy to listen too. Which in itself is an amazing skill.
If you like an action novel with cyber crime, mystery elements giving you plot twists which is also really easy to get into then the solution is simple. Read this book!
Also the narration of the characters and the story is great. For me it drew me in from the start and really added to the atmosphere of the book.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
An amazing techno-thriller

Any additional comments?
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.I really enjoyed this book, and I much prefer this book to #1 in the series. It looked deeper into Jacob, Petra and Otto, as well as looking into the other members of the R-Group. As in book 1, my favourite part of the novel is the character development and the character interactions, which was excellent.
I did struggle with the plot a bit, because there was a lot of moving parts that I struggled to link together. It reminded me a bit of the Jack Reacher novels with all the moving parts of the plot. The tech aspects did again feel overdone, but not as bad as the previous novel.
