“Investing in Murder is a page-turning mystery with well-developed characters, cleverly-woven parallel tales and a finger in the shady world of international financial dealings. The disparate angles add up to a memorable, fast-moving plot.”
– IndieReader Professional Review
"Lister, a Vancouver business writer, has produced a perfectly competent thriller that will no doubt find an appreciative audience."
– Vancouver Sun
