Mutually Beneficial by David G Williamsson is a cybercrime thriller that is sure to set the reader’s pulse racing. In this sequel to Proportional Revenge, Chique Fluellen is comfortably settled with her partner in cyber and life, Raymond, when her life is upended through a meeting with former U.S. Ambassador to London, Susan McClarren. Ms McClarren, it appears, is gunning for an appointment as the sitting President’s running mate in the upcoming elections but she has something in her background that could potentially derail her political aspirations. There is a video out there that shows Susan indulging in her greatest passion; uninhibited and wild sex with black men. She needs Chique and Raymond to find that video and ensure it never sees the light of day. Money is no object and with Susan McClarren holding the specter of further incarceration over Chique’s head, she has no choice. What Chique and Raymond discover is danger, double-dealing, and a plot to secure the highest office in the land by whatever means are necessary.

Mutually Beneficial is a taut, exciting, very erotic, cybercrime thriller that will captivate readers from the very first paragraph. David G Williamsson has created a super sexy, super beautiful, and super smart hero in Chique Fluellen and is not afraid to place her in some extraordinary situations. It is always good to see a powerful, dominant woman who is sure of her intelligence, beauty, and sexuality, yet is nonetheless vulnerable and flawed in many ways. I haven’t read the first installment of this character’s adventures but can assure readers the author does an excellent job of dropping useful backstory tidbits into the narrative as it races along. I particularly enjoyed the eroticism inherent in Chique’s total makeup and, yes, while it is explicit it doesn’t cross that invisible line from erotic into turgid and grubby, in my opinion. Chique is sexy and beautiful and wears the mantle well despite her misgivings at times. Telling the story from more than one perspective also gives the narrative depth and variety. The plot is cleverly constructed and red herrings are dangled in front of readers to try to distract them, which is the mark of a thinking writer and makes the whole read fulfilling. The ending certainly allows for the next installment of Chique’s adventures which is a very good thing as I cannot wait to see how Chique and the rest of her team will react to what is a “clear and present danger.” I can highly recommend this read.
