Helpful Score: 2

I decided against finishing this book. I like the concept, but in execution the writing is plodding and the characters aren't very interesting. I may give a later book in the series a try, because The Hydrogen Murder is the author's very first novel after a career as a physicist (=scientific writer.) The book jacket carries a rave review by Janet Evanovich, but this only reminded me that even during a "quiet" moment in Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels the wacky characters and humor take over. Later books by Camille Minichino may be better.
