“Shapes were dissolved into soft shadows with vivid heat waves rising from their crests…” was the quote that got me hooked from Carl Conrad’s “The First Murder on Venus”!  If you are a fan of murder mysteries and sci-fi novels, then this is the right book to read.Picture this!  Step into the shoes of an astronaut, where all eyes, and I mean ALL EYES are on your latest mission.  You’re going to Venus! And, it’s the first time anyone has ever landed on the planet!  But, there’s trouble on the horizon and everything is not what it seems.  When it comes to this mission, MURDER is lurking in the shadows.It’s a great little mystery with a sci-fi twist.  Initially, I wasn’t too sure about the fusion of sci-fi and murder, but in this book the fusion blends perfectly.  Not to mention, the book reads like it was torn out of the book of life.  Could the author be a former astronaut perhaps?  Who knows!  But all the same, if you’re looking for a smooth read, this is the book for you!
