There's some odd things about this book - the setting is very specifically described yet vaguely placed, characters start interacting with no description or background information whatsoever - yet the story was engaging. I liked the remote scientific lab setting for a mystery.

This just wasn't for me. It felt very dry and mysterious in a way the frustrates more than intrigues. It feels like a much older book than it is, as if in a long defunct style. It's imagine that would draw some in, a gleaming technological setting in an old noir package
