In a Nutshell: Mind control, stalking and murder
Kimbra has not had an easy life, and in her job as a psychometrist administering neuropsychological and psychological tests on volunteers for a company called Quantum Thunder, it only gets more confusing.
We're provided with a fair bit of backstory on Kimbra, which is good, as one needs to know why and how she got to the point in her life when the book begins, with the murder of her former best friend is murdered. Suspects abound; I changed my mind several times!
A new Quantum Thunder drug is being tested, to determine and influence the minds of those perceived as having psychic or telepathic abilities. Kimbra decides to take it, which is when her life becomes even more frightening and confusing.
It's a good story and the writing jogs along nicely, making it a pleasantly 'easy read'. I never really 'felt' Kimbra, though; the details are all there, but, as I often find with male writers, the male characters seemed more real than the female ones. But that was okay. She worked, for the plot.
I do have one negative comment, I'm afraid; the book needs a better edit/proofread as there are many, many run-on sentences (comma splices), and the punctuation is a bit off in places. Aside from that, though, I enjoyed this story.
Thank you Terry
