Team of teams 4 stars

Review of 'Team of teams' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

An excellent book on organizational management and the necessity to be flexible and adept in a complex world and environments.

An enjoyable murder mystery, a very similar formula as her other book I've read The Guest List, but I do like the setup jumping back and forth and not knowing who was murdered nor the murderer. It is a great mechanic to keep you guessing.

I found this book in one of our Little Libraries and picked it because a story around the San Francisco earthquake sounded interesting . I was pleasantly surprised, it's a good story with solid characters and moves at a good clip.
