Lab Notes
“…a spellbinding mystery…intricate adventure…Murder, deception and passion moved the story at a fast pace…kept me guessing until the end.”
Where secrets collide…
Shortly after university researchers Diane and Vincent Rose join a prosperous Houston biotech company, Vincent begins seeing hints of darkness in their new workplace and records his suspicions as if they are scientific data.
When Vincent vanishes during a yacht race off the coast of Texas, Diane Rose makes the stark discovery that another BRI scientist disappeared just months before. Is there a connection? Devastated but determined to uncover the truth, she trades her microscope for binoculars and master keys—unaware she’s being watched.
Drawing on her research skills, she covertly investigates BRI’s enigmatic staffers: an animal rights extremist with destructive tendencies, a disgraced scientist with ulterior motives, a shadow employee with dangerous secrets to protect and a sadist who gets his thrills through animal torture.
But the hunter becomes the hunted. On the run, Diane follows an international trail of secret societies, ill-fated lovers, greed and murder; all the while fighting an attraction to one of the world’s most powerful men—a man who wants to bed her or kill her—or both.

Excellent story. Loved the mystery and adventure of the jungle. I had a hard time putting this book down.

This was a hard go for me. The thing that kept me going was the story is set in the Houston/Galveston area and I enjoyed seeing just how accurate it was about the area. I would ask myself things like, "Why aren't that at the Texas Medical Center library instead of the Moody Library in Galveston?" Overall it was pretty accurate and I enjoyed recalling the things brought up, like Rice University, I-45, Gulf of Mexico, Galveston... But really introducing like 16 characters in 16 pages is a bit overwhelming.

A pretty decent book
If you're looking for the secrets of the universe if you're looking for the curious to society's ills if you're looking for the answer to the eternal questions , this book is not for you . I would suggest you either sit back and drink a Margarita her slit your wrists. If you are interested in a light book which is kind of fast-paced and has a lot of quirks in it then read this book
