Product Description
When Ian Michaels, a Silicon Valley hotshot, discovers a young, beautiful woman stabbed to death in his house, it takes him a moment to realize that the still-warm corpse is his maid. Far from the gray-haired, cookie-baking grandmother he imagined her to be, Gwendolyn was a stranger to Ian, but her family, old boyfriend, and the Palo Alto police seem to think they were a couple. And despite his best efforts to prove otherwise, the evidence against Ian is growing. It looks like someone is framing Ian for murder, but who?
An executive at a tech firm, Ian is anxious to prove his innocence to his boss and mentor Paul Berk, a Silicon Valley legend. As the investigation heats up so does Ian's interest in Gwendolyn's sister, but can she be trusted?

Really Kept My Interest, Nov 9 2006
By Teresa M. Mckinsey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dot Dead (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Having grown up in Palo Alto, I recognized so many places mentioned in it. It also brought back memories of my younger years when they were mentioning the "Palo Alto Times", a local newspaper, which sadly, no longer exists. I have passed this book along to my son and daughter. It was recommended to my by my mother, who had just read it, but passed it along to my sister.
I was interested in it because of the local, but soon became engrossed in the storyline. I would recommend it to any fan of mystery novels, no matter where they grew up.

This one grabbed (and held!) my attention, July 19 2006
By Richard Bohn "The oldest living independent C... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dot Dead (Paperback)
I don't usually post reviews of fiction, especially mysteries. But this one caught my eye. You see, author Keith Raffel founded the SaaS CRM provider, UpShot. I was a big fan of UpShot, giving them one of our Willy awards, and was disappointed when they were later sold to Siebel. So now this Renaissance man has turned his attention to the writer's craft.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Totally believable. Well paced - good chapter lengths. I spent some time in Silicon Valley and this book brought back quite a few memories, not all of them pleasant. Anyone in high-tech will love this book. The rest of you probably will too! Check it out now!

Unputdown-able, Jan 28 2007
By Paddy pooh "paddy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dot Dead (Paperback)
This title caught my eye at the local library and I'm so glad I picked it up. I finished it in 2 days in the middle of a busy week. I do hope Raffel writes again and often.
Listmania!
