Review: Good characters, inventive story

The author was kind enough to give one of my books an unsolicited review and in investigating what else she had reviewed I discovered that she was an author herself. I had this book on my Kindle when I took a long flight to Greece, along with many other books I hadn't read yet, and the story held my interest well enough that I read it straight through. That isn't something I do too often. The Kindle makes it easy to read many books at the same time without losing your place in any of them, and more often than not I'll have a bunch of books going at once. So it is saying something that I could get through a flight from Chicago to Greece with hours of delays and missed connections and only read this novel.I am nearing retirement and am as far from the target audience of this book as it is possible to get. The story involves crop circles and other things that I can't take seriously, but the author uses these elements so imaginatively that I kept reading to see what would happen next. Each mystery resolved leads to a larger one. The characters are well drawn, too. They have the kinds of problems that real people have.I will probably read the other books in the series.
