Interesting and Wonderfully Complex Mystery

A bit of romance, some scientific substance, and a large quantity of mystery; these are the skillfully combined elements of Dwan Hightower's Anthrax: The Game. If you want a book that will take you away from your daily worries, this book is for you. I generally enjoy mysteries, but not those so frightening they prevent me from sleeping. Anthrax: The Game met my mystery requirements. People in a New England town suddenly start dying of anthrax. Employees of several governmental agencies are sent to investigate the source of the poisoning. There are several subplots to Anthrax: The Game; one is current and the other is three years prior. Events three years prior bear a startling resemblance to the current events; this is yet another subplot. The reader wonders, and then learns, not only why someone was so intent on killing people, but who it was. To say much more would be to spoil the story! This book has more than twenty chapters; at the very beginning of each chapter, the reader is told the setting of that particular chapter. Because of the complexity of the subplots in Anthrax: The Game, this information was really nice to have for context purposes. A glance at the cover lets the reader know that they're going to be reading about a scientific subject. Ms. Hightower has researched her subject matter well, although I have to hope some of the information in the book can't be true. Unfortunately, in today's world, it probably is all too accurate. This book is a riveting mystery, with a lesson we all need to learn from time to time. Quite simply, that lesson is that when we are in those situations in which we're faced with a problem, we need to step back, think about other parts of our life, do something relaxing to clear our heads, and often the answer comes to light.
