Diablo Mesa by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
3.0

A solid 3.4*! I thought I was done with the series, however, reading Douglas Preston’s nonfiction book “the lost tomb” a few weeks ago inspired me to return. Essentially, Preston takes some real-life mystery and then throws some science and storytelling on it. Knowing this makes me enjoy this series more.

In this case we get the Roswell crash. A very Musk-like billionaire has gotten permission to excavate the crash site and has decided that Nora should investigate. She sees that there is a grave nearby and wants to ascertain that it’s not an old Indian burial. The bodies are strange - without faces or fingerprints- and the FBI with Corrie heading the investigation comes to site. It seems there is more than one mystery.

This was the usual fun blend of science, procedural and mystery. Totally over the top and just what I wanted from it.
