A fun read

ByAmazon Customeron January 11, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Really just a fun book, with interesting, likeable characters. This isn't groundbreaking science fiction, but it is highly enjoyable. Story keeps you engaged, but it is still easy to follow and not too predictable.

Four super powered women means four times the trouble for this P.I.

ByMorgan Cahallon March 11, 2010

Format: Mass Market Paperback

Story:
It was a dark and stormy night when the call came in at 3 am. That's what time the jobs come calling when you're the world's last private investigator by the name of Zach Johnson. What's not normal is the identity of the caller. Its Ona of the world famous biologically enhanced Thompson Quads (Ona, Twoa, Threa, and Foura) who wants to hire Zach to find out why and how her sister Foura was murdered while they where all in the same room for a reunion dinner. The problem is that just about everybody and their brother had a grudge with the sisters, including the sisters themselves. It doesn't take long for Zach to find out that while the sisters might have super powers they don't exactly have super personalities. It turns out each of the sisters had a pretty good reason to take each other out. Before their father died, he changed his will to leave all of his fortune to Ona, which made her sisters very unhappy. If sorting out the family feud wasn't enough Zach has to deal with the century old butler (it takes him 5 hours to set tea and 5 more to fix it, if it's set wrong), The overly protective security team (their twins, and their lasers are not set to stun) and the late professors first experiment, a addled but intelligent gorilla. It's going to take all of Zach's skill and all of HARV's (the super computer wired directly into his brain) wit for him to get to the bottom of this case.
-------------

I definitely liked this book. It has a nice pace and quite a few laugh out loud moments. The banter between Zach and HARV carry the book through a couple of dead spots and the supporting characters are memorable. I won't call the mystery a brain twister because it is not, but the ending does make up for it because it does have a twist. I would recommend this to anyone that likes mysteries set in the future with a bit of noir and humor mixed in. m.a.c

Who KIlled the Purple-Skinned Babe?

ByNick Howeson December 31, 2015

Format: Mass Market Paperback

Earth's last private investigator, Zachary Nixon Johnson, is back with his cyber sidekick, HARV, to investigate the death of one of four beautiful heiresses, purple-hued temptresses who were created from special DNA that practically gives them superpowers...and they're all nuts. Johnson tries to discover who murdered the young woman and the clues suggest it was an inside job. Another fast-moving pulp fiction, updated to a mid-21st century setting with all that entails. Again the humor is not as sharp as billed, but it's like Ghostbusters where the combination of elements made it a successful movie, not the gags. Again, the authors deliver a fast moving plot with a satisfying bang-up ending. Recommended.

A very funny locked room mystery with a touch of doomsday

ByAmazon Customeron May 25, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition

Ona, Twoa, Threa and Foraa Thompson were enhanced at birth by their brilliant scientist father to become super-humans. Known as the "Quads", the famous four sisters don't get along since the death of their father, and are therefore adored by the media. The mystery starts when Ona Thompson invites her sisters for dinner and things don't go exactly as planned as Foraa ends up dead - but not before leaving an encrypted message behind. Ona hires Zach to find the killer or to at least prove her innocence, but it's the computer HARV that gets excited at the possibility of solving the puzzle and play the detective. But even though it seems to be just a murder, it may well be that Zach has to save the world. Again.

It is always great when you enjoy the first book of a series (The Plutonium Blonde (Daw Book Collectors)) and the second one is as good as the first! I loved this "locked room mystery", and to me it felt like an homage to the likes of Agatha Christie. But there's where the comparisons end because if the familiar twists and turns are all there, the silliness of several characters and the brilliant interaction between Zach and HARV will make you laugh out loud and prevent anyone of taking the story too seriously. These mysteries are hilarious and Zach is an amazing character - I wouldn't want him any other way, despite of what his girlfriend probably has to say about it.
