‘Cold Wallet’ by Rosy Fenwicke

A cryptocurrency thriller set in Auckland, Fiji and Corfu.

‘You have kind eyes,’ the last words Andrew said to Jess before he died on their honeymoon.

Grief stricken, Jess returns to New Zealand and the crypto-currency exchange Andrew left her in his will. As a physician Jess knows nothing about crypto-currency and turns to Andrew’s associate, Henry – someone she has never liked. Does he mean to help or hinder her?

With nothing as it should be, Jess has no choice but to involve the authorities. Shocked when details of her past are leaked to the press, Jess is forced to fight to save her reputation and her future. The solution to her problems could be hidden in the Cold wallet but where are the passwords?

Reviews for Rosy’s Books

Cold Wallet:
LOVE READING UK – ‘With revelations and resolutions that left me spinning I think that this is a really good thriller and I would recommend it.‘

KIRKUS – ‘An intelligent and offbeat contribution to the genre that will appeal to its fans. A savvy, psychologically rich novel of tech-based intrigue.’

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BOOKLIFE COMPETTITION – ‘Fenwicke has written an intense thriller that has so many creative twists and turns that the ending comes as a pleasant surprise… The characters are very detailed and distinctive, with extensive backgrounds and layers of conflict and complexity… This story is fresh and unique.’

Hot Flush:
GOODREADS 4 star review from Felicity Price and The Dominion Post Book of the Week:

‘What’s not to like about a woman of a certain age who gains super-powers from the moment she has her first hot flush? Especially when her life takes off in a series of unexpected twists and turns requiring those super-powers to be harnessed in ever-increasing quantities? And because the super-powers start out low key – better vision, better hearing, more stamina to extend her daily runs – we go along with what becomes a real rollercoaster ride, making it hard to put this book down.’

Death Actually:
THE READER: NZ Booksellers Blog: ‘The author has gently moulded the strands of the story together with humour and it moves along at a brisk pace with some very satisfactory outcomes from the twists and turns she created among the characters… The underlining theme highlights strength, reliance and hope while looking to the future.’
