"BAD BY THE NUMBERS is a meticulously crafted police procedural, with plenty of mystery, tense action and a solid romance to sweeten the mix." (Award-winning author of the Cilla Stephenson mysteries, T. H. Pine).While jogging, explosives expert Nick Harris finds a drivers license at Denver City Park. Never dreaming of the sinister consequences of his simple act, he pockets it and flies to Paris for a conference. A shooting at Brighton University, Colorado, results in two victims, both professors. The alleged killer, another BU professor, is caught onsite and taken to jail. The case appears to be straightforward, but Brighton Police Lieutenant, Mark Sorensen, senses that something is missing from the picture. As Sorensen navigates through the universitys political labyrinth to solve the multiple-murder case, Nicks name comes up as a possible suspect. Racing against time, Nick embarks on his own quest in Paris with the aid of a mysterious woman and an eager Parisian journalist. A fast-paced, page-turner mystery, BAD BY THE NUMBERS will keep you guessing to the end.

Bad by the numbers - Not bad at all

2015年5月17日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Nick finds a wallet in the park while is he taking his daily run. He is on his way to Paris to give a presentation in his area of expertise and puts it aside and instantly forgets about it. When he arrives in Paris he meets an amazing woman. She is smart, beautiful and for some reason she is interested in him. It has been a long time since that has happened. His line of research isn't a popular one and scares many women away from getting involved with him. With the discovery of a body in the park where Nick found the wallet, he becomes embroiled in murder and international conspiracies and high level cover-ups. Selma, the woman he met in Paris turns out to be a high-end technical wizard who insists that Nick let her join him as he tries to prove that he has nothing to do with the murders.
Back home in Colorado, Lieutenant Sorensen and his team are assigned to a shooting at the college campus. As they investigate, Sorensen believes there is more to the college incident than meets the eye. With the discovery of the body in the park, he is certain that they need to investigate more and not jump to the most obvious conclusions. While Nick is working from Paris to uncover why the murders occurred, Lieutenant Sorensen and his team work to uncover the killer in Colorado.
An excellently told story with enough twists to keep the reader interested. The writing was sophisticated and enjoyable. (The editing could have been a bit better. There is some adult language at the beginning of the book but it doesn't carry through the entire story). The characters are well defined. We are introduced to Lieutenant Sorenson and his personal and professional life and we are left wanting to know more about him and his team. We are led through the daily life and politics of the police department and introduced to the politics of higher education. I found it enjoyable and recommend it to those who like a good conspiracy and murder. I'm looking forward to reading Valeria Wenderoth's next book.

Intrigue and Romance from Colorado to Paris

2015年4月10日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Wenderoth introduces Lt. Sorenson, located in Brighton, CO, home of Brighton University. A tenure meeting leaves one dead, one injured; Lt. Sorenson is cautious of the convenient explanation and the alleged shooter is in shock. He begins to ask questions and his team, and his long term friend Duv try to sort out the tragedy at BU. Parallel to the happenings in Brighton, Nick is jogging and finds a wallet. He takes it home with the intent to find the owner but he's a bit disorganized and late for his plane to Paris where he is scheduled to give a talk on bombs, his research area. As Wenderoth continues the story, Sorenson's group are hard at work, as are the Denver police, and circumstantial evidence makes Nick a suspect for a murder. In Paris, he has met a woman whose job is hacking into online systems. With her skills, she is able to find information and Nick gets to see parts of Paris not on the tourist route as he tries to figure out what is happening and clear his name from Paris.

The complex story has international intrigue, romance, and contemporary issues related to higher education, degrees and faculty appointments. Nick takes a lot of risks, while trying to shield his friends and help Lt. Sorenson find the people responsible for the murders while dealing with the Parisian counterparts. The pace of the story is good. Characters are unique and have skills and knowledge that are not typical, but fit well in the story. Wenderoth shows good promise as an author of mystery and suspense. Hopefully, we'll see more of Lt. Sorenson in the future.

Eager for the second in the Detective Sorensen Series!

2014年12月21日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Thoroughly enjoyable, hard to put down! Three things that attract me in detective novels are: intelligent writing, character development that avoids heavy handedness, and brilliant locations. Bad by the Numbers delivers on all three. Wenderoth knows well from experience or researched well in four critical aspects of this novel -- police procedure, academia, technology, and her locations -- then wove them together with a clear, economic writing style. Moving between Colorado and Paris felt more natural than I expected, and is cleverly accomplished through two main characters and the supporting characters around them. One is inadvertently involved in the murder, and the other one readers will look forward to seeing again. He is Detective Sorensen, a man with inner tensions and life stresses, but thankfully not driven by intense inner demons. The story advances through and around his interactions and somewhat atypical decision-making. We get to know him gradually and begin to see these qualities reflect his ethical compass as much as his demeanor in the world. By the end of the book, we feel we know him just well enough to want to return for the next book in this series. A fascinating contrast exists with regard to a life of teaching at a university inhabited by clever, unprincipled professors and a life of police officers, most hardworking and civil to one another. This contrast animates the scenes among and between both groups of characters and bodes well for a continuation of the series with the current support team to Detective Sorensen. This is an exceptionally good read and a fine first detective novel. I recommend it wholeheartedly to readers who enjoy both domestic and international detective novels, intelligent economic writing, and a story that revisits clues while moving forward for the reader's high satisfaction.

Pick it up

2015年10月23日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I tend to steer away from detective novels but for some reason lately I have read a few and this is a good one. The key here is the balance in the complexity of the plot lines and the simplicity of the story. There is enough to get your teeth into but it's not unwieldy as some can be getting lost in overly complex unnecessary diversions. Here we have an author with a sense of purpose telling us a good yarn and telling it well. There is a great sense of place as the story travels across continents and the characters all have enough about them, even the lesser ones to keep you engaged. Snappy dialogue, good narrative and a well rounded off story made this a really enjoyable read for me. I have a personal dislike for one device slightly overused in the story which is using reports and newspaper pieces, notices on the catacombs in France and even text messages which explains the drop of a star but like I say the important point is that this is my very personal dislike and this book is one I recommend you pick up and read. It is hard to find a good detective story like this one. I read it quickly in the unputdownable way and really that is the key to this review. Great read pick it up.

Murderers need to be in jail

2015年5月17日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Or so Sorensen's chief thinks. The problem for Sorensen is figuring out just who the murderer is this time. With two bodies, the smoking gun, and the shooter (we know, because her fingerprints are on the gun), it looks like a wrap, until the third body, then the fourth, then…heck, who's counting anymore. Not one to jump to conclusions, Sorensen accepts help when he needs it and serendipitously ends up with an international team of experts brought together by fate and the book cover on a children's story. A rollicking tale split between Metro Denver and Paris that has all the elements for a thriller, but as Sorensen notes early in the morning after a sleepless night, without the zombies. Worst of all, none of it makes sense, until the good guys—at least, that's how Selma classifies herself and her array of exes (one with a car) and others who are just friends—step up to help Nick prove he's not the one Sorensen is looking for. Explosives, the Internet, Guy Fawkes, and transportation strikes in Paris all come together to keep the various players on their toes, or at least in the case of the extra chair in Sorensen's office not comfortable when they do sit down. "Bad by the Numbers: A Lieutenant Sorensen novel" is a promising beginning to a new series by Valeria Wenderoth.
