I just could not get into this book. I didn't finish. I didn't even skip to the end to find out what happened. I have not read any of the other books in the series - and probably won't. It just dragged. And dragged. Everything had to be explained. I understand trying to give some science background for non science types, but the author explained every little thing. I felt that pretty soon I'd be reading about what an investigation is, what a car is, what an apartment is. I tried just skimming for action but that was not interesting either. I'm putting myself in the 'not a fan' column.

Dragged a lot, and I was happy to finish it off at last. This book comes somewhere in the middle of the series of "chemical murders' or something like that, but was my first book. A young lady is seemingly being terrorized by her psycho boy friend as well as a colleague she loathes. And hell breaks out when they both are found dead (not simultaneously). Her mother's friend sets in to investigate and comes across a scam. Thereafter the plot deteriorates. First half was interesting. But after that, whenever I would open the book, my eyes would close. Sheer perseverance made me finish it.
