Quantum Murder by Lesley L. Smith

cmliwagdixon's review

4.0

“Quantum Murder” is the second installment in "The Quantum Cop” series. Physics professor Madison Martin once again finds herself involved in a “q-lapse” crime spree — one in which she is the prime suspect. Madison’s character can be a big flighty; at times, she sounds more like a hormonal teenager than a respected physicist who is facing the possibility of prison. Despite the gravity of her situation, Madison’s thoughts are often distracted by attractive men. A burgeoning love triangle and relationship problems sometimes make “Quantum Murder” read less like a science fiction novel and more like a romance, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The balance between the two is well-struck. Overall, “Quantum Murder” is a lighthearted read and a solid continuation of the story begun in “The Quantum Cop.”
