Here is a procedural with a twist, as modern science and paleontology rub shoulders. This page-turner won’t take long to read, being fast paced and very gripping as the two detectives wrestle not only with the case but with burgeoning love and the question of faith. This latter issue does not get a fair hearing in amongst all the suspect grilling and detective work but the old topic of God versus science seems to lie just under the surface, waiting to break free but not actually doing it The ending does seem a little rushed after a good long build-up (you can almost hear the roll of drums) that this is one book that I felt - and how unusual for me - could have actually been longer. But then this goes to prove too how entertaining it was. I hope to read more books in this new series.
