Principal Investigation (Scientific Mysteries)

Rating:
Summary: All too plausible.
Review: I can't agree with the earlier reviewers, who found the characters and the plot unbelievable. I thought it was extremely plausible, all too plausible. Also, I think the denouement, in which the villain is essentially hoist on his own petard, a welcome relief from the usual "blow 'em away" finale. Beyond that, the Japanese scientific community really ought to support this book since, for once, they are not portrayed as mad scientists, Asian threats, funny little quaint people, etc. No, I think Dr. Celeste Braun, who is a sexy (not oversexed) and brilliant woman, is refreshingly depicted as a character who can make mistakes, see the problem, get scared but screw up her courage and persevere. This is a terrific novel and I can't wait for the next book. B.B.Jordan gives us a new dimension for the science thriller.

Summary: Can't wait for the next installment
Review: Principal Investigation is set to become a cult first novel with a unique twist to the female protagonist murder mystery genre.

The science is great and accurate .... and why haven't you got the second installment listed - it's called Secondary Immunization and is said to be even better than the first!

Rating:
Summary: stupid, self-serving, transparent plot. unbelievable.
Review: Where do I start? Two of us are writing this review together. One of us actually managed to finish the whole book- because she was stuck on an airplane. The other only made it to the first sex scene before bailing out. (Van made use of the barf bags on the plane.) As two working scientists, we couldn't stomach the idea that at the end, a handful of grass wins out over a gun. No matter how bad the allergy - you can't shoot a gun at her? Give me a break! And this is the guy who we're supposed to believe is capable of conquering the human race? He doesn't show any guts. I can't believe people are giving it 4 stars. Sure, it's great to make science accessible to the layman. But why does the principal investigator have to be so horny? Why is she so intent on garnering new lovers? Can't a modern, strong, assertive, intelligent woman be complete without the need for men's sexual attentions?
