Publisher's Summary

It's 1953, and disgraced scientist Noel Glass works as a PI to redeem himself for a deadly experiment that cost the lives of six people, including his fiancée's. In walks a rich recluse who offers information that Glass was framed for the deadly accident. As Glass struggles to clear his name, he uncovers an evil organization bent on using his own invention for world domination.

Who can Glass trust when everyone is keeping secrets? His mysterious Japanese sidekick - Wan Lee? The sultry blues singer - Merlot Sterling? The man-mountain bodyguard - Vincent Richmond?

From the desolate streets of Industry City, Colorado, to a showdown in Chi-town, Glass encounters death at every turn. As he's pursued by two Mayan hit men determined to make him history, Glass must rediscover the self he lost years ago and face off against the one ghost he swore he laid to rest.

She Murdered Me with Science blends detective noir with the pulp science fiction of the '40s and '50s. A child science prodigy, Glass uses forensics to solve crimes long before it was considered a legitimate resource for the police. He's part Sherlock Holmes - part Mike Hammer. Through his quest, Glass interacts with historical figures like J. Edgar Hoover, DNA scientist James Watson, and photojournalist Art Shay. The story interweaves true events from the beginnings of the Cold War era with a fictional Armageddon.

Glass also gets drawn into the growing racial tensions of the times, including the Trumple Park Riots, because of his femme fatale, the chanteuse Merlot. Cut from classic females of the era, Merlot takes no prisoners on stage or in the bedroom.

She Murdered Me with Science is laced with the blues, packed with action, and armed to kill.

slow

It took me literally months and several false starts to finish this book. Most of my struggle was because of the narration. Just listen to a clip. You'll understand. He does sound like an old school gumshoe, but he also sounds like an 80 year old with a mouth full of marbles. And he spoke so slowly... The plot was slow, yes, but the narration made it infinitely slower. I only managed to finish by changing the listening speed to 2 or 2.5x.
That said, it was actually a pretty fun little story. Very 1940s serial with a bit of a speculative fiction twist. It just took so long to get where it was going.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
