Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st edition, May 2002, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "Retired physicist and amateur gumshoe Dr. Gloria Lamerino returns in Minichino's fifth murder-by-the-elements mystery (The Hydrogen Murder, etc. ), a largely inert mix of chemistry and crime. Though she's comfortably settled in her hometown of Revere, Mass., and relishing the affections of Matt Gennaro, a local homicide detective with "Al Pacino eyes, " Gloria can't seem to keep her nose out of sleuthing. When John Galigani, the son of her beloved landlords, is accused of murdering a former girlfriend, Yolanda Fiore, Gloria's on the case to prove John's innocence faster than you can say "periodic table." Although Matt has to recuse himself because of his friendship with the Galigani family, he helps sift through clues and Lamerino's hypotheses. Was Yolanda killed because her newsletter Raid-iation exposed falsified data in Japan? Did her death stem from conflict over a questionable library expansion plan? Or did Yolanda uncover clues about a 55-year-old murder? ...Reading Yolanda's e-mails, Lamerino decides, must be like wading through something by Mario Puzo. But there's no denying the flair in Minichino's portrait of Italian Americans, or the charm of her energetic, quick-thinking heroine, who seeks both love and justice."--Publishders Weekly.
