4.0 out of 5 stars Also great from a scientific viewpoint, April 5, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Vanishing Man (Kindle Edition)
Parts of a body are found in various places in England. A man has vanished. Is there any connection between the two?

As the story progresses, one wants to tell the omniscient scientist collecting data that he should check the DNA. But. of course, DNA was unknown at the time. Instead, he uses the technology of the day and brilliantly solves the mystery.

Interesting too is that people really haven't changed much since this was written, only customs.

I agree with the previous reviewers. It was an interesting book, and I'm glad I read it.

This is the third time I have tried to post a review for this wonderful book. I could hardly put it down. It is a wonderful period fiction piece. A mystery that keeps you turning the pages and beautifully written. I loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Back in Time . . ., August 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Vanishing Man (Kindle Edition)
I downloaded this book to see how the Kindle app worked on my iTouch. Didn't expect much for a free book. First of all, I'm thrilled with the Kindle app and how it has worked, but found myself totally engrossed in this delightful read. As one reviewer has commented, I too, loved the "no sex, no violence, no swearing" (or something like that) aspect of this book. It is informative to read the customs of those days and period pieces typically help me remember how very far our technology has progressed in such a short time.

I would gladly read more writings by this author.
