Chain Thinking

Rating:
Summary: Thought Provoking
Review: Elliot Light's second book in the SmallTown Mystery Series is a quick and easy read that leaves you with plenty of thoughts to chew on long after you put the book down. I can't wait to see what the next book holds for Shep circumstantially (as things just seem to fall into his lap) and personally.

Summary: The Perfect Tapestry
Review: Elliott Light's CHAIN THINKING was the perfect tapestry of mystery, drama, animal rights, and the law. The story begins with a 'big bang' and doesn't stop running from there. I was drawn to his protagonist Shep Harrington, the reluctant hero/detective/lawyer, through whose eyes and voice we are reminded of the injustices our society imposes upon chimpanzees and other animals for our own selfish purposes. Mr. Light is able to convey a strong message without being preachy. I also enjoyed Shep's dry sense of humor. I promise you'll pick up the book and finish it in one read.

Summary: A Hero for Our Times
Review: One reason that society's ethics advance so slowly is that the reasons for advance are hidden behind the facts and figures of dry scientific papers and textbooks that remain unread by anyone but scientists and a few geeks like me. The facts and figures generated by the African slave trade were ample cause to end such an abomination, but it was not until Uncle Tom's Cabin came along that people actually sat up and took notice.

Elliott Light's new mystery novel, Chain Thinking, has the potential to awaken the public to the plight of chimpanzees being used in biomedical research in a way that scholarly publications simply have not done. In this story, the newest addition to his Shep Harrington Smalltown Mystery series, Light introduces his readers to a world of corporate greed that has little concern for the suffering it leaves in its wake.

Like all good mysteries, Chain Thinking compels the reader to turn yet another page and follow the story through its unexpected twists and turns. Whether you are a mystery aficionado, a Shep Harrington fan, or someone interested in the animal research industry's darker secrets and devious behavior, you will surely find Chain Thinking an eye-opening and surprising story. Shep Harrington is a hero for our times.

For the animal rights crowd, Chain Thinking will make a great gift for friends and family members who refuse to read a graphic expose. Before they know it, they will be cheering for the animals. Go Shep!

Summary: A Fabulous Read!!
Review: This book has everything I look for in a novel, and then some! It is thought provoking, witty, intelligent, and leaves you feeling inspired to do something to help. The author has done some superb research into the severe treatment of animals in laboratory environments, but you don't have to be a crusader to empathize with these wonderful creatures as described in this this book. I could NOT put it down. This is a must read.
