Nice change from the traditional format.  I would call it Big Bang meets Scooby Doo while channeling Numbers.  Don't get me wrong that is not a bad thing.  A retired educator and IT pro I enjoyed the book tremendously.  Yes it was apparent this was a departure for this author but it works.I found the characters engaging and can see a long running series for this heroine.  The father of two geeks and a bit of a geek myself I could relate to the characters.  I can also see how some would have problems doing so.  However, you have to remember that some suspension of reality is necessary for most mysteries to work.  Additionally most authors are distilling down characters that a mix of many different people they know or have observed.  Having worked with and managed many people of Lexi's type I think she came up with an entertaining and engaging mash up.The book is also light and humorous a real plus for me.  I lifelong devourer of books I have given up on the heavy and the dark which seems to prevail in Science Fiction and many genres of the thrillers of today.  I read for a laugh and for relaxation.  If I want to be depressed I will read the paper.  Just enough suspense to keep it interesting and just enough humor to keep it light.So bottom line if you have a little geek in you male or female and you like a good laugh check out this series.
