Publisher Description
In the latest installment of Camille Minichino's fun, fast-paced Periodic Table mystery series, retired physicist Gloria Lamerino and her fiancé, homicide detective Matt Gennaro, attend the wedding of Gloria's best friend in California. Unfortunately, the groom has disappeared along with some top-secret research on nitrogen.
As Gloria and Matt try to figure out a connection between the missing groom and the absent classified nitrogen research, the body count rises.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Minichino's diverting seventh entry in her periodic table series (after 2004's The Carbon Murder), Gloria Lamerino, who's part Mary Worth and part Jessica Fletcher, finds that even a simple California trip for a close friend's wedding involves her in murder. When the work partner of the groom's daughter, an EMT, is shot dead, apparently by a mugger, Gloria gets suspicious because the groom, Philip Chambers, has too much information about the crime. After learning that the thief was after a briefcase connected with Chambers's secret government research on nitrogen, she conjures up a broad conspiracy with implications both for national security and the bride's happiness. Gloria and her own significant other, Massachusetts homicide detective Matt Gennaro, make an engaging couple. Cozy fans who don't require a twisty solution to the whodunit will be well satisfied.
