And I don't know if the science and all that is legit behind this plot, but if it is. This story was more interesting than some of the others as I'm from a Midwest farming community so it was pretty relatable. Downs has a really good handle on wit and sarcasm and writes in a natural way. Not to mention it's pretty funny! And for me to say that means something- I hate when authors try too hard to be funny or use cliché humor. (and just a one man show, not a team) It's actually pretty interesting.

I know books about a 'Bug Man' don't really sound that interesting, and the first couple in the series don't seem very appealing in title or cover, but this series is a really good read! It's basically like CSI or Bones but with 'bug' forensics instead.
