As a murder mystery, it was ok. It was elevated by the amount of science sprinkled in. The poor protagonist (Theo) got beat up way too many times for my taste.
This is a fine book. 5 stars for plot. It kept me wondering what’s next and finishing the books. And I really like the premise and the main character. But the writing seemed super repetitive and felt sometimes like someone trying to sound smart and intuitive but not actually succeeding. Idk. I’m not literary critic. Probably wouldn’t recommend.

If anyone is caring for just an entertaining read/listen, this is quite an interesting mystery with a lots of cleverness and wits.
2.5 Stars Rounded Up
Decently written and interesting enough to keep me reading to the end, though often implausible... e.g. socially inept college professor is willing to forgo his job to solve mystery and is able to figure out details way ahead of law enforcement. I'd also like to think the feds would have stepped in a little sooner when the body count started rising.
And I do wish this author would learn a new way to handle gunfire in his books, other than onomatopoeia in screaming capitals with exclamation points. Having read mysteries, spy books, and thrillers for most of my life, I know it can be done.

I have never related to a character in a book like I related to Theo. I, too, see patterns in data, but am unbelievably stupid when it comes to people. It felt like I was reading about myself lol. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Great read!
This book was so interesting, and kept me reading! Finished it in 2 days, and was not disappointed by the ending.
