Title: Catching the Wave
Author: Emily Selby
Date: 2022
Quote: "[T]hat girl had a strange power bill."
Amelia, the Internet security consultant at the Book by the Sea bookstore, is a real computer geek. She doesn't even recognize how bizarre and rude the phone call with the people yelling about the "strange power bill" is. She investigates, though, and finds herself doing real detective work, tracing the owner of the cryptocurrency "mining" operation and the resulting Bitcoins that are raising the bill.
This cozy mystery introduces readers to the basics of cryptocurrency. Danger and gross-out levels are low. When not panicked by the inflated bill, even the landlords are reasonably polite. Solving the mystery depends on your ability to apply logic to the information about cryptocurrency Amelia provides to the other characters and you.
This mini-book is a sort of trailer for a trilogy of detective stories, featuring Amelia, set in New Zealand.
