Search - Origin

Well written page turner - Once I started this book I was hooked! Could not put it down. The central character, a crime lab worker with an extraordinary skill and a mysterious origin, is tasked with analyzing evidence from SIDS cases and determines there's more to meet the eye [or nose]. The unsolved case combined with her unusual interpersonal relationships form the setting for a tale that will hold your interest until the last page is turned. One talented author, one excellent book!

The protagonist was raised by apes in the rain forest. Now she reads fingerprints for a living. There's a baby killer loose in Syracuse NY. And it's cold, so cold.

Or maybe not. I read this novel in 90-degree heat and felt like I was getting frostbite. An excellent, subtle book. Unique voice, terrific writing, and there's actually a story there...kind of literary novel crossed with mystery. Highly recommended.
