The Lithium Murder (Gloria Lamerino Mysteries (Hardcover))

Rating:
Summary: The intelligent person's mystery
Review: I am itching to get Minichino's other books after reading this one. The Lithium Murder was a fast but interesting read, and the slant on science and physics made it a better mystery than the typical "light reading" that is not my cup of tea. My husband read this book...my only caution is men may find the emphasis on wardrobes and friends like family a little cloying. He said it was "OK." I was spellbound.

Rating:
Summary: Very enjoyable - waiting for more!
Review: I've thoroughly enjoyed all the books in this series. And, unlike many other authors writing mysteries today, Ms. Minichino writes books that I can send to my mother after I am finished reading. Her books focus on character and plot, and don't require vulgar language or explicit sexual reference to propel the story. I eagerly await the remaining 100+ books required to complete the periodic table!

Summary: The intelligent person's mystery
Review: This third visit to the periodic tables brings the reader into yet another scientific mystery. I marvel at the concept of a retired physicist as the protagonist. Having worked with many such scientists in my career, I could not envision even the most brillant of them in the dogged pursuit of a killer who garrots his victim to death. Yet the author makes such a concept totally believable. This is enjoyable reading yet it forces the reader to expand their knowledge. The plot and structure of the book works perfectly in luring the reader into the tale.
