Let The Cat Out of the Bag
Marina Peters Author Interview
Too Deep In With The Auditor is an exciting story that turns an otherwise mundane job into a steamy romance novel? What was the inspiration for the setup to this provocative story?
I have been working for 20 years in the audit industry and had a passion for writing (there are other, non-fiction, books available from me) all the time. Now after 20 years I thought that it was the time to free from dust the profession of auditors. While some actions in the book are – naturally – a bit exaggerated, there are always true storys behind, that gave me the ideas.
I enjoyed the relationship between Martin and Ellis. What were some ideas you wanted to explore with their relationship?
I can let the cat out of the bag here: I have already laid the foundation for further books to come. I hope I can explore this relationship later on an make references to it.
You’re an Audit Director for a large auditing company. How has your professional experience informed your writing?
I am able to look back at all I have experienced and can use this to write Martin Muller’s story. I have so many ideas at the moment, which makes it – at least from that point of view – really easy to continue with the series.
What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?
If all goes well, it will be the next Martin Muller Audit. As I had another idea in the meantime I combined audit & steampunk & cruise and wrote a short story “A Steamy Steampunk Cruise” which tells about Monica Jackson, an auditor working on an audit assignment on a cruise ship. So, if you like Martin, she will definitely shorten the time until the next Martin Muller audit appears. This should happen this summer.

Too Deep in With the Auditor
Too Deep In With The Auditor is a titillating title and the book lives up to the expectation. When I first came upon this novel I was intrigued and almost immediately started imagining a scene in a smutty movie, but I was highly entertained by this light-hearted and fun book. The story line is easy to follow and the characters are interesting without being melodramatic. I was enamored with Ellis’s alluring character and how a lot of it was focused on teaching her how to take control and be powerful. Martin was cocky at times but overall an entertaining and stimulating character. It made me laugh that the author wrote him as particularly short. This actually made him more likable and relatable, in my opinion. I enjoyed the flirty energy between Ellis and Martin. I also found it very creative that the author took something typically seen as mundane and/or burdensome and turned it into something sexy. This was definitely a fresh take on auditing for sure! I could tell that the author enjoyed creating this work and that always makes the reading experience that much more pleasurable. This book was a breeze to read and left me wanting more. This is absolutely perfect for that short plane flight or road trip. You will arrive to your destination with a certain glow! The author clearly sets up the ending for another book so I wonder where she will take the Auditor next!
