4.0

This book is set on a remote Scottish Island where anthrax was previously tested. A small team of scientists and forces officials are there overseeing the decontamination of the island. John Tyler is a civvy engineer sent to fix a faulty door when his predecessor had died on the island. Almost immediately John realises there is more going on here than meets the eye. There are 6 people on this island and one of them is a murderer. 

I quite enjoyed this book - i didn't know much about Anthrax Island and found this informative and thought provoking. As a character I wasn't sure about John to start with but there is more to him than meets the eye too and I really enjoyed the twist involving his character.
