Book about a female scientist working at Oak Ridge during the Manhattan Project? Yes please!
Oh, it's part of a mystery series. Not really my genre, but I'll try.

This book has all the elements of something I should love, but I definitely did not love it. The main character, Libby, is such a Mary Sue I can't stand it. I can't believe that someone would have been able to get away with as much as she did without consequences. The characterizations of the men in this book were sorely lacking. I couldn't differentiate between the different members of the Walking Molecules because there weren't any! The mysterious sabotage was very elementary and seemed to be resolved too easily. I expected to get more of a reason why it was done, but all I got was a huge gaping plot hole about how it was accomplished.

For the record, I did go back and read the first two books in the series. I didn't think either one was very good, but I gave this one a shot because sometimes it takes a couple of books for a series to warm up. Unfortunately, this series remained tepid. This ending seemed to indicate this is the last book in the series, and I say thank goodness for that. ( )
