My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble
Professor Theo Cray is
out doing sciency-stuff in Montana when the cops come knocking at his motel
room door. Well, not knocking, more like knocking down. He has no idea what
they think he’s done, but after several long hours and lots of weird questions they
finally tell him he’s a suspect in a murder investigation and he’s more than surprised.
And then upset because the person murdered is a former student. He starts
feeling guilty for reasons that are weird, but understandable and these
feelings lead him down a road he never imagined he’d travel – using his big
science brain to solve a murder. Except, his application of science leads him
to something so much bigger and more evil than even he could have predicted.
If you like science and
murder mysteries then this is the book for you. There is a shitload of both in
it. I’m not a science person. I’m not dumb, but a lot of certain sciences just
go over my head and I end up with only a vague understanding and a headache for
my trouble. This book is filled with Theo explaining science stuff and how he’s
using what he knows to apply it to a serial killer, but somehow the author
manages to mostly make sense to me. Excellent job! No, seriously. Ask any of my
science instructors. They’ll tell you. Flashbacks to Chemistry make me shudder
in horror and revulsion. Luckily, Biology wasn’t as terrible and there’s a lot
of Biology in this book. I took off a bit for the massive amounts of science
and some areas of slight ridiculousness, but overall it’s only a small
deduction. This story kept me glued to the pages, wondering what on Earth Theo
was going to discover next and if he’d survive the inevitable faceoff with the
killer. Also, there’s a great buildup of suspense there towards the end.
Yowzers. There’s even a bit of romance for Theo, but it’s mostly science,
bodies, and trying to find the killer. I ended up liking this book way more
than I thought I would. Great job!
