Nearly Gone
by Elle Cosimano
Fantastic. The integration of science and math clues with this deeply personal revenge-murder-spree, the mildly sci-fi aspect of Nearly's unique talent, and the gritty realism of the characters' lives are all well-handled. My only complaints: the murderer is hidden in such a profusion of high school boy characters, I had trouble keeping them straight. The story would have been more elegantly constructed if one or two of them were merged or eliminated. Also, the undercover cop posing as a high schooler struck me as unrealistic. I dunno, maybe it could happen, but he was obviously out of place right from the start.
Despite these minor quibbles, I couldn't put the book down and will look for more from Cosimano.
