Summary: This is a hard one to put down!
Review: I could not put the book down until I had read it all. It is a thriller with subplots involving human interactions and relevant environmental topics. From the very beginning the reader is drawn into a tense situation not knowing exactly what is transpiring and trying to put the pieces together. The characters in the novel are well developed and the relationships are realistic.I thought it an excellent book of fiction.

Summary: Exciting discovery
Review: I discovered this book quite by accident (it was sent to me by a friend), and I've never been more pleasantly surprised. Once I began the prologue, I found it difficult to put the book down until I'd completed it. During that process, I found myself totally absorbed by the story (about a search for a secret toxic waste dump on a small college campus), the colorful characters who live inside the book (and continue to live inside my head), and the mystery that surrounds them. Ms. Kistler's fluid writing style is among the best I've ever read. I look forward to her second book.

Summary: This is a hard one to put down!
Review: Linda Kistler's first novel is a great read. Set on a college campus, the book is a fascinating tale of how long-buried hazardous waste comes to affect the lives of various faculty members, students, and administrators. The plot develops somewhat like a mystery, as hints of problems begin emerging, until things literally explode in the book's extraordinary climax. I usually spend weeks reading one book...I finished this one in only two days!
