A plot filled with intrigue, mystery. and romance. Move over Dr. Quincy, there is a never Forensic Pathologist in town….Dr. Jack Youngblood.
Dr. Jack Youngblood had long been fascinated by the dead; which is handy, since he is a forensic pathologist. His fascination earned him the nickname the Ghoul. He’s been married twice. The first ended in divorce; his second wife died of leukemia. He now finds himself falling in love with co-worker Jill Hanraty. When Jack finds a John Doe on his table with a bullet hole in his forehead, he is determined to answer the questions: who, what, when, where, how, and by whom. The case was like a jigsaw puzzle. It leads him to Biologistics, a mosquito, and more questions. Who in his office was leaking information? Could he and Jill work together and still have a relationship? What did mosquitoes have to do with two dead men? What was really going on at Biologistics? The search for the answers to these questions could be very dangerous.
Chris Holmes put his medical training to use in his latest book Mosquito Tapes. He offers readers a plot filled with intrigue, mystery, and romance. Dr. Jac k Youngblood is an interesting character. Holmes brings this character to life, allowing readers a peak into what makes him tick. While there is more than a hint at romance, Holmes never lets that get in the way of the purpose of the plot…mystery and intrigue. The plot of this mystery demonstrates the possibility of a terrorist plot.
Could Dr. Jack Youngblood be the next Kate Scarpetta? I see the possibility. I’ve long been fascinated with Forensic Pathology. I’ve read every Kate Scarpetta mystery. I’m actually reminded of the Jack Klugman series Quincy. I’ve eagerly tuned into the CSI series. Grisham, move over there is a new Forensic Pathologist in town. Jack Youngblood will become a favorite. I hope Chris Holmes plans a series of books with this character as lead. I can see Jack and Jill’s romance slowly developing while they work together to solve mysteries.
