“Imagine Sheldon turned detective! This fast paced mystery is a quick and pleasurable read. Our hero is quirky, fun and his intelligence gives the story an interesting perspective. The romantic character development adds an interesting dimension. I recommend the book. It is a great start for a detective series and am looking forward to the next one.”
“The researcher-turned-detective is definitely a nerd in need of social graces, but he learns fast when he meets the attractive female detective he is teamed with.”
“A friend of mine is reading this for his participation in "The Plato Society" in Southern CA. Although I live in Oregon, I thought I would read it, as well. I am primarily an Apple user (since my first Apple IIe) but have always been a big user of computers. I have no technical background but am intrigued by how things "work". I found the book easy to understand and most fascinating leading me to further research on my own. The fact that Alexa can respond to my request for the weather here in Portland by synthesizing my language, to text, sending it to the servers out there in Eastern Oregon (miles away) then get to me with an answer in a split second is nothing short of amazing . It is equal parts Computer technology and Sociology.”
