I liked this book. It took me a long time to read, but I enjoyed it even if I felt as if it took me a while to get into it.

Vlodek Elstrom is divorced and living in a castle turret built by his grandfather in Rivertown, outside of Chicago. His ex-wife lives in Crystal Waters, the safest community in America, or at least that is how it was touted when the 30 or so houses were built in the 1970s. But, when the first house explodes and then a lamp post is imploded, the Board of Trustees hires Dek to investigate. He lost his business while getting divorced from Amanda, so $3000 sounds like a good deal to him. But, the explosion was done with D.X. 12, an explosive not used since Vietnam. Who could have held a grudge against Crystal Waters since the 1970s? I don't know how I missed this series when it first came out, but will be looking for the rest.
