The Rivals, Pek - B

            In the second novel about Claudia Lin and her colleagues at Veracity, we once again explore the, for me, incomprehensible world of the technology behind NYC's preeminent matchmaking sites. We also again face the possibility of a murder of someone in the business who believes the big three are using AI to manipulate their subscribers. The things I like about this book are the references to the city's geography and the insight into the Chinese immigrant community in Queens. Claudia's hiding her sexual orientation from her domineering mother is also a hoot.
