Review of 'Verifiers' on 'Goodreads'

This is probably a great book for people who know the mystery genre well and will get all the references. I am not good at understanding the social interactions in this book, but that is less the author's fault and more likely because I'm autistic, lol. But the characters and their choices didn't make any sense to me. It did successfully make me super paranoid about my online presence, and I sincerely appreciate that. That IS scary.
