Expectation kills? Yes they do!
I thought “The Chemistry of Death” would introduce me to the world of CSI. Not the one we see on TV, but the real one.
The book is just an average murder mystery that attempts to be something different and fresh, but doesn’t bring it. It is not a bad reading though, but like I said before, I waited great stuff from young author Simon Beckett, but there isn’t any subliminal aftertaste.
A good book for being a debut, but nothing tells me that the author has gotten that edge that will catapult him into something extraordinary.
Cheers
