A review by diannel_04
Extraordinary People by Peter May

4.0

This is the first book I've read by Peter May but it won't be the last. Enzo McLeod is half Scottish and half Italian and lives in France (how's that for a mish-mash). He makes a bet with a friend that using modern forensics he can solve a cold crime, the disappearance of a high ranking government official.

Following a series of bizarre clues, with the help of Nicole, a student of his and Bertrand, his daughter's boyfriend (who he obviously hates because that's what fathers do), he manages to unravel the mystery, despite roadblocks being set up by government officials.

I look forward to the day I find a mystery novel where I don't figure out who the killer is halfway through but until then I just lean back and enjoy seeing how the plot plays out.
