**Note - Love the in Death series. So handy for the set in the future tasks. I think this one was 9th in a long series and I have used most of them for "set in the future' tasks. If you haven't read them you should check it out. They are fun/quick reads and even better on audiobook with Susan Erickson narrating.
Who knew that Colleen McCullough
wrote such good mysteries. So different from her most famous book - The Thorn Birds.
