Summary: She's on a roll...
Review: After experimenting (!) with her writing style in the previous two books, Dr. Jordan finally hit upon a winning formula. This book showcases what makes the scientific mystery series unique: the culture of academic science, with all the egotistical personalities, the oppressed wives, the stakes which only scientists understand, and convoluted politics. The scientific details (FACS analysis) are not even necessary for appreciating the underlying human story. No less, the minutiae was distracting in the first two novels.

I look forward to her future work.

Summary: Don't Miss This One!
Review: Although scientific thrillers are not a genre I'm very familiar with (unless you can count Le Carre's The Constant Gardner, and I don't think you can) I loved this book. It combines an international cast of characters, science presented so that you can actually understand it, and realistic academic intrigue and pettiness, all wrapped up in a page turning mystery. If you're not familiar with academic politics you can still relate, because it's just offfice politics with more pretentiosness. Bravo B.B. Jordan!
