Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

I realized between halfway and 2/3rds through, at the race who it was, I actually thought it might be him as soon as I him and his girl started dating. It takes too long to get there. Matilda is supposed to be such a badass detective and took forever to figure it out. Also as with all of these, the ending and epilogue are always rushed. That's why I like them and don't love them and have to try to avoid skimming.

I don't think its her best, but she is still streaks ahead of most other crime writers. I was still hooked and will continue to be with this writer
