Virtually Timeless

High-Tech Crime Solvers #5

by Casi McLean

From USA Today Bestselling Author, Casi McLean, comes a gripping techno-thriller, part of a multi-author series tied together by an interlocking cast of characters, all centered around the fantastic new promise of high technology and the endless possibilities for crime that technology offers, in a world where getting away with murder can be not only plausible, but easy…if you just know how.
Another gripping thriller from Casi McLean, Virtually Timeless casts a fascinating spin on crime suspense.

When Atlanta-based twins, Sydney and Noah Monaco, mysteriously inherit property eight-hundred miles away, their curiosity prompts them to investigate the bequest.

Noah flies to Connecticut to check out the estate and stumbles upon a confused woman wandering through the forest. His medical instincts kick-in, but helping her spirals him into the crosshairs of dangerous criminals out for revenge.

When he fails to connect at the specified time, Sydney’s private-eye impulse slides into gear. She finds her brother, but the search exposes a hidden chamber, an ancient artifact, and a decade-old crime, thrusting them down a rabbit-hole of mayhem, medical mystery, and murder.

To solve the case, characters from other volumes of this high-tech series come in to lend a hand. In order to get answers before the villains catch up to them, the twins must use cutting-edge technology to unravel the mysteries before the murderers strike again.

High tech, crime and a fascinating take on the genre comes from Casi McLean, who NEVER fails to hold me captive from start to finish! This time out, as part of a multi-author series, Ms. McLean offers up her signature suspense with a twist in VIRTUALLY TIMELESS and it is fabulous!

We’ve all heard about the special bond between twins, having twins myself, I can tell you it’s true and Casi McLean has nailed that connection as twins Noah and Sydney Monaco discover there is more than meets the eye when they inherit an estate from a relative they never knew existed. A lost and confused woman, hidden chambers and ancient artifacts lead the twins into a tsunami of secrets, deaths and together with the help of hi-tech, they are in a race against time to prevent further murders, while discovering just who the unknown woman is.

Don’t expect an easy solution, because this thriller is chock full of suspense, twists, and the unexpected! Once again, Casi McLean has played to her strengths, creating a powerful mystery, well-drawn characters and edge-of-your seat storytelling that packs a punch, all while keeping up a rapid-fire pace!

Sydney Monaco and her twin brother, doctor Noah Monaco, inherit a large property in Connecticut from an aunt they know little about. He sets out to check it out and while exploring the wooded property he discovers a disoriented woman who has just escaped an attack. Is her trouble connected, somehow, with the precious artifact Sydney finds? Can the twins outsmart the criminals who are after them and the woman, whose unique medical condition becomes a challenge for the good doctor?

The plot has complex subplots that keep you guessing, and the suspense is palpable: “Now, aware her captor was not only a kidnapper, but also a thief and a murderer, she took no more chances. Instead, she waited for the right moment. When she heard a knock on the door, she knew that moment had arrived.” Five stars. Highly recommend!

Disclaimer: I invited Casi to join the High-Tech Crime Solvers team because I love her writing. I preordered her book and enjoyed reading it as soon as it came out.

This genetic thriller by Casi McLean brings a fascinating new spin on crime suspense. Twins Noah and Sydney Monaco inherit a mysterious estate hundreds of miles away. Noah, a doctor, and his sister Sydney, a private investigator, try to find the identity of an amnesiac woman found wandering on their newly inherited property. Their investigation lands them in danger, and they become targets of ruthless killers intent on hiding the truth.

This is the fifth book in the author’s High-Tech Crime Solvers Series. Like the others, the characters are colorful and likeable, and the high-tech elements of this story are fascinating. Twists and turns mount along with murder and mayhem in an high octane pace with no lulls. This story is extremely well written, enjoyable, and quite different in its imaginative reach. Well done, 5 stars!

Absolutely gripping. In a world of techno knowledge, getting away with murder is easier than ever if you know how. Lots of suspense.

[Catrina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have not had the opportunity to read any of the other books in this series, but that did not take away from my enjoyment of the story. When twins, Noah and Sydney inherit some property, they end up with much more than what they bargained for. The fast paced action and mystery kept me on the range of my seat.

Casi McLean kept me fully engaged in this well written story. I definitely need to check out the rest of this series!

The narration by Rich Miller was great. I look forward to experiencing more of his performances.

Virtually Timeless: A Chilling High-Tech Thriller (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 5) is a gripping techno thriller by USA Today Bestselling Author Casi McLean.

When twins Sydney, a private detective, and Dr. Noah Monaco, a rare disease specialist, inherit property from their aunt in Connecticut, eight hundred miles away from their hometown Atlanta, Noah flies off to immediately investigate the property.

While exploring the estate, Noah overhears what turns out to be an attempted assault, so he jumps to the rescue, seizing the gun from the man who’s attacking the woman.

But as a doctor, Noah’s attention is focused on the woman, who appears to be suffering from amnesia, and as Noah tries to come to her aid, her assailant escapes. While attempting to help the injured woman, she draws away, and as Noah tries catching up with her, without warning, he falls over a dangerous precipice, tumbling into unconsciousness.

Sydney is concerned about the fact Noah doesn’t contact her when he’s supposed to, so her connection as his twin puts her on full alert, and she flies to Connecticut to try and find him.

When Noah regains consciousness the following day, he knows that he has a concussion. Relieved when the woman he saved shows up, Noah realizes she has no memory of their meeting, and in fact has no short-term memory at all.

Luckily, Sydney appears after tracking his cellphone to where he dropped it before following the trail nearby. When the woman wanders back, they’re able to coax her along to their aunt’s house.

The woman has a past she knows nothing about--not even her own name, and somehow, Sydney and Noah manage to earn her trust. But she has enemies pursuing her, not just the one assailant in the woods.

And little do they know that the spot where Sydney found Noah's phone is the site of a ten-year-old crime as well as a few more exciting secrets.

This is a thrilling fast paced mystery featuring well-developed, engaging characters, along with a fantastic plot that will keep you guessing until the very end. Subplots, twists and turns where you least expect them heighten the suspense of the story before it reaches a very satisfying conclusion.

I highly recommend this story, as well as anything written by this extremely talented author!!

What if you and you sibling traveled thousands of miles to see your inheritance, only to find strangers and stranger happenings? This ensemble cast of characters must solve a mystery--but can they do it in time--or in another time? A page turning thriller that will keep you glued to your Kindle late into the night, I give this book 5 shooting stars in a wormhole filled with suspense!

[N.N. Heaven · Rating 5 out of 5]

When twins Sydney and Noah Monaco inherit an expansive property from an aunt they knew nothing about, they both agree it's a good idea to check it out. Noah volunteers and flies from Atlanta to Connecticut. While exploring the woods on their property he discovers a woman in trouble. What happens next sets the twins on a whirlwind adventure they never expected. Criminals are after the twins and the malnourished woman they rescued. Could this have something to do with her or the artifact Sydney discovers? The more Syd and Noah investigate, the deeper the rabbit hole they're plunged into. Can they stay one step ahead of the gang of criminals after them before it’s too late?

Virtually Timeless is a nonstop medical thriller filled with action, adventure, cutting-edge technology, fascinating characters and a pulse-pounding plot. The twins work well together and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The medical mystery and the criminal sub-plots are so intricately laid out, I got swept into the story. Twists and turns kept me whipping through the pages until the thrilling conclusion. When I finished reading, I had to unclench my hands and slow my breathing. A gripping thriller not to be missed. If you're a fan of high-crime medical thrillers, this is a must-read. I can't wait to see what's next for these twins. Highly recommend!

Twins Sydney And Noah Battle Danger And Disease As They Try To Stay One Step Ahead Of The Mysterious Adversary Whose Objective Is Unknown To Them!


This is book five in a series of interconnected stories by different authors, each delving into the exciting world of virtual reality and high-tech crime solving, highlighting fascinating tools and possibilities within the field in the context of a mystery. DNA, facial recognition, archeological tools, and cutting-edge pharmaceuticals are part of this story.

This is the story of Sydney and Noah Monaco – twins from the Atlanta area – who inherit a property from a long-lost aunt. Sydney is self-employed as a private investigator, and her brother Noah (Dr. Monaco) is a leading Rare Disease Specialist who works out of Emory Hospital. When they find themselves in the midst of a mystery, they call on their network of friends and acquaintances for help. Fans of authors and the series will enjoy seeing favorite characters reappear and lend a helping hand – to include Julie Crenshaw, Wes Watley, Micah Miller, Elise Nolan, Clayton Trent, Jack Duncan, and Jillian Andrews.

Twins Sydney and Noah Monaco first learn about Aunt Becky when they are informed that they have inherited her Sharon, Connecticut home that sits of fifty wooded and mountainous acres near the Appalachian Trail. They had lost their parents seven years earlier, after they had gone missing while working abroad for Doctors Without Borders. Sydney and Noah have no family left, and nobody to ask about the mysterious Aunt Becky.

The next week Noah flies to New England to see just what they inherited. It is a lovely home in a remote area, and he promises to call Sydney again after walking the property. When he comes across a woman being attacked by a man with a gun, he courageously saves her from danger. He notes the woman’s odd behavior – much like Dory from Finding Nemo. Either she is a brilliant actress or she is suffering from some sort of memory issue. The man escapes, and Noah tries to help the injured women who calls herself Brooke Holloway, but spooks her instead. Worried for her, he follows.

Noah never does make his call to Sydney, and her twin instincts tell her there is trouble. She flies out immediately and begins scouring the property for him herself. In her search she finds an stone chamber, a gorgeous amulet, and a very confused woman named Willow Rivers. But when she finds Noah and helps him back to the house, they soon piece together that the woman – Brooke/Willow, or BW for short – is in danger. The twins’ keen intellect leads them in an effort to discover BW’s true identity while Noah desperately tries to save her. But uncovering BW’s identity is just the beginning, as an unidentified danger seems to follow.

Sydney and Noah take the investigation into different directions, each working from the angle of their own specialty and network of experts. The pieces are slow to come together, and their luck is slow to come, but in the end they come through thanks to their connections and some high-tech solutions. The story ends in an unexpected twist!

Two issues merit mention. First, the timeline does not always line up, and it is contradictory in a spot or two. Fortunately, it does little to distract from the story itself. The majority of the story appears to take place within a weeks’ time in mid to late November. Additionally, there is a reference to the time it takes for a certain illness to show symptoms, and it is either not clearly enough explained in this particular instance or the timeline is off.

Twins Sydney and Noah battle danger and disease as they try to stay one step ahead of the mysterious adversary whose objective is unknown to them. The story is nicely written and plot-driven. There is a rather large list of characters. Sydney and Noah work well as a crime-solving team – their twin senses reliably guide them. There is even a tiny hint of romance in the mix. The story is written in third person. The POV primarily alternates between Sydney and Noah, but others include Elise Nolan, BC, and Todd. I rate this book four stars.

Doctor Noah Monaco, rare disease specialist, and his twin sister, Sydney, private detective, lost their parents years ago, but have recently inherited an estate in Connecticut, from an aunt they never knew existed. It's 800 miles from their Atlanta home, but Noah takes a few days to check the place out, including walking the perimeter of the property.

In the course of doing that, he finds a woman being attacked by a strange man. He manages to chase the man off, but while pursuing him, Noah stumbles and takes a bad fall.

When he doesn't check in as expected, Sydney turns current cases over to her assistant, and heads to Connecticut to find him.

When Noah regains consciousness, he recognizes that he has a concussion, and is relieved when the woman shows up. Help available! But the woman is very confused, has no memory of seeing him before, and it slowly becomes apparent she has no short-term memory at all. Even turning away for a few minutes wipes out her memory of what went before.

He gets some help from the woman, but soon loses her to her lack of short-term memory.

When Sydney shows up, tracking his cellphone to where he dropped it, and then following the scuffed trail, he discovers he was out longer than he though; it's the next day. The woman wanders back, and the twins manage, despite the woman's confusion, to coax her to help Sydney get Noah back to their aunt's house.

What they don't yet realize is that the spot where Sydney found Noah's phone, and an unusual amulet buried in the leaves, is the entrance to an underground chamber, and the site of a ten-year-old crime.

The confused woman has her own hidden history that she knows nothing about--not even her own name. Sydney and Noah manage to win her trust and get her to record reminders to substitute for real memory for the moment, but it soon seems that she has enemies who are pursuing her, not just a random attacker in the woods.

They need a crafty plan to get them all to Atlanta, and then Noah goes to work solving the mystery of the woman's condition, while Sydney goes to work solving the mystery of her background. It's fast-paced, exciting, and fun, even if the discussion of cutting-edge DNA testing and searching, to identify the woman, does get a little ridiculous. I seriously lost count of the number of times that what sounds like pretty normal use of DNA genealogy databases to identify relatives was described as "cutting edge." I mean, really, this is basically the business that Ancestry and 29andMe, and probably others I'm not aware of, are in. But except for that weakness, it's interesting and entertaining. I really liked Noah, Sydney, and their friends.

Recommended.

An awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very professionally written medical thriller book. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge description list of unique characters, settings, facts etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great medical thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. It wasn’t as exciting as I hoped so I will only rate it at 4/5 stars.

A Gripping High-Tech Thriller

“Virtually Timeless” is a captivating read full of suspense, mystery, and an intriguing crime that takes high technology to solve all the spokes of the unknown connections. The story begins when Noah Monaco, a renowned Rare Disease Specialist, rescues a strange woman being assaulted on an estate he and his twin sister, Sydney, unexpectedly inherited from an aunt they didn’t know. The rescued woman is confused and needs medical attention, but she doesn’t trust Noah and runs away from him.

In pursuit of the young woman, Noah falls down a mountainside and is injured. Sydney, a private investigator, can’t reach him by phone, fears he’s in trouble, and takes off for their newly acquired estate. She follows his cell’s GPS and stumbles upon a bat-infested root cellar where she discovers an amulet. After a diligent search, Sydney finds both the confused woman and Noah.

The twins convince the dazed woman to go with them to their aunt’s house. The stranger doesn’t remember who she is, but senses imminent danger. Sydney detects an armed force is approaching the house. The trio makes a harrowing escape, but they don’t all go unscathed. The disoriented woman is shot.

After Noah tends to the woman’s wound, the twins delve into finding her identity and unraveling dark secrets about the estate they inherited. When more devious criminals emerge, they face constant danger. Do the villains want the woman, the amulet, or something the twins have yet to discover?

This is a well researched, action packed, high-tech suspense-filled story with intriguing characters. Its many plot twists make it hard to put down. Casi McLean has created another winning thriller that incorporates an exciting new wave of solving crimes through cutting-edge technology. This engaging story pulls you along the roller-coaster plot, keeping you turning the pages. Highly recommended.

A Twin Intervention Plus

I’m a big fan of Casi McLean’s and her dynamic story Virtually Timeless: A Chilling High-Tech Thriller (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 5) hits a reader hard on every page with precisely timed action and incredible characters.

Although this crime thriller is part of a multi-authored series (High Tech Crime Solvers) I had no trouble accepting or understanding the other characters’ entrances during the story, as they enhanced the intense action scenes penned by the talented Ms. McLean. Although complex at times, realization shines through the story, which is a difficult accomplishment for any author.

And I love the mystery/suspense element driving the force of this novel ahead. As in where the heck did that amulet in Noah’s coat pocket come from anyway?

Also loved the closeness/comradery of Noah and Syd Monaco, the twins, a totally relatable duo since my mom was a twin, and I adored she and my aunt’s antics and protection of one another. Not that they ever had thugs after them, like Syd and Noah but still. Being said, after what these characters have been through – *sigh* much as I’d like to divulge more, I’ll leave future readers to discover those challenges for themselves – combining their resources through mysterious illness and strife.

In case you were wondering exactly what constitutes a High Tech Thriller, grab yourself a copy of Virtually Timeless – this is the embodiment of that genre. Bravo, Ms. McLean – five golden stars for a thrilling read on steroids!

[Eric J. Gates · Rating 5 out of 5]

‘Virtually Timeless’ by Casi McLean is an unusual book. And that’s a good thing! For an author to embark upon a crossover set (the ‘High-Tech Crime Solvers Books) each written by different authors yet featuring the active participation of characters from the other writer’s novels is a daunting challenge. First, you need a good story and author McLean treats us to an outstanding tale here. Then you need to incorporate some of the characters from the other series authors, but in such a way that their presence not only contributes to moving the story forward in a coherent fashion, i.e. they aren’t cameo walk-ons, and that their involvement seems to be a natural evolution of the tale. That is no small feat, yet here we are in the hands of a master storyteller and McLean tackles the experiment like the pro she is.

Her protagonists, twins Noah and Sydney Monaco, find themselves thrust into a dark tale of deadly avarice and revenge, combined with not one, but two medical mysteries for Noah to solve, and all of this with the breakneck pacing readers have come to associate with author McLean’s novels. Mysteries abound throughout and there is even a very intriguing one, deliberately left unsolved, to be picked up in a later volume by the author.

A superb thriller from Casi McLean and highly recommended.

*This book was given to me by the author at my request, and I provided this voluntary, unbiased review.*

4/5

The blurb about this book caught my eye because it was labeled as a techno-thriller, and I am a huge fan of them. This book is number 5 in a series of collections by different authors; however, they are still standalone stories that have tie-ins with characters and story arcs from the other books. I liked the story and the fast paced action of the events that went by - it was a really quick read and as mentioned - a fast moving story-line. The characters were likeable and the medical terminology was sound. There was not too much unbelievably in the story at all, with exception that the MC's owe a lot a favors to friends, as well as cashing in a few favors themselves!

While I did absolutely like the story and enjoyed the audio presentation; this is most definitely NOT a techno-thriller. There is zero "tech" to this thriller at all. While that does not detract from the story itself, it should definitely not be labeled as such. This book was 100% a medical thriller and should be re-categorized as one. The only real tech part of the thriller was in the epilogue, and even then, it was one sentence. So - while this review is overall positive and I would definitely recommend this book, I would beware of anyone looking for an actual techno-thriller from reading this title and instead picking up this title as a medical thriller instead!

I love me a good mystery. In Virtually Timeless, Casi McLean weaves together several different mysteries seamlessly.

[Rhonda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Honestly, from the title and even the description, I was expecting this to have some time-travel and futuristic type high-tech elements. It didn't, so I was somewhat disappointed. However, this thriller was pretty good with lots of action. At times it was intense which is what you expect from a thriller. I liked the characters, but the dialogue at times felt a little stilted.

When I listen to audiobooks, I really like to have the characters come to life with their own voices. I much prefer than that just having a book read to me. In this case, there was some differentiation between male voices, but females didn't get their own voice. So, I can't say it was an exceptionally enjoyable listen, but it was okay.

Overall, I'd give it 3.5 stars. While it can be read as a standalone, maybe some of my expectations would have been different had I read from the beginning of the series.

[Susan Hutchinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great mystery.

Casi McLean delivers another suspenseful mystery with Virtually Timeless. Both a “who dunnit” and a medical mystery x 2, McLean’s main characters, Dr. Noah Monaco and his twin sister, Sydney, lead you through the clues to solve the mystery of the identity of a woman wondering in the woods with amnesia and why she, then they, are being chased by men with evil on their minds. Each is faced with following clues, Noah, to solve strange disease symptoms, and Sydney to help figure out the bad guys. McLean obviously did a great deal of research to make this all sound plausible. Great characters, good plot with plenty of twists and tight writing make this a great read.

[LeMiliere · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first book I’ve read in this series but as this book can be read as a stand-alone I didn't have any problems following or enjoying the story. After inheriting property eight-hundred miles away, one of the twins goes to investigate the bequest but finds a woman wondering around who is obviously sick. When he then fails to contact his brother he comes to investigate.

The story features a hidden chamber, a jewellery find, as well as some dangerous men who now have the twins in their crosshairs I don't want to give any spoilers so I'm not going to say anymore other than it's an intriguing mystery read, which makes me wish I'd read the earlier books

[Cindi Knowles · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is Ms. Mclean's contribution to the High-Tech Crime Solvers Series, book 5. Virtually Timeless is a medical thriller with crazy action, unexepected twists, cool new medical technology and guest appearances from the previous books in the series that are eager to help as needed.

This is the first thriller that I've read by Ms. McLean and also the first book that I've read in the series and I was in love before the end of the first chapter! Her skills as a writer are top-notch and her ability to weave the pieces of a fast moving, ever changing story line was the wildest ride and I loved every minute of it!

In today’s modern society it’s easy to let technology do everything. But when technology seems to be your enemy you have to find new inventive ways to gets the answers you need. There was one part of the medical testing that made me laugh and told how new to the scene this book was. This was a great read. The performance and story are well thought out and from the very beginning it makes you think who can they really trust? A great mystery novel and great detective novel.

A Good Read

Virtually Timeless is book 5 in the High-Tech Crime Solvers Series. This was my first book I’ve read in the series and I had no problems. This can definitely be read as a stand-alone. There is weird illnesses, a great Infectious Disease Dr, a feisty private investor, the twin connection, a jewelry find, mysterious dangerous men and a great mystery. There were some timeline contradictions that gave me pause so it’s a 4 stars for me.

The main characters are very well written and the Narrator did a fantastic job bringing characters to life. This was a page Turner and I listened to the whole book in 1 sitting!! Highly recommended this Story.

Don’t expect to get much sleep once you start reading this high-tech crime thriller because it will keep you up late, turning pages as fast as you can. The main character twins are well-crafted, likeable, and believable. The intricate plot twists and turns so you can’t see what’s coming. The use of characters from other books in this series is well-done and makes you want to read their stories as well. Highly recommend.

Good story

Twins, one a doctor the other a PI , find a woman wandering in the woods near their newly inherited property . Definite plots and sub plots.
I like this series of stories by different authors using same characters . Different plots , good use of the characters .

Virtually Timeless twists, turns, curves and bends its well crafted characters from mystery to mystery while bringing them in and out of heart pounding perils. All with a high tech appeal that only adds to the enjoyment.

The story is quite a page turner with the clues littered throughout as we look for the clues of the identity of the woman with amnesia and what happened in her past to help us narrow down the 'bad guys'. The characters are well written and the pace kept me up well into the evening.
