verbal misunderstandings.

I'm reading a Cook book. -- Robin Cook. Have read several of his works and afterward, always feel like I've taken a biology course. He gets into terminology that is second nature ro him as a surgeon, but at least explains it, via character discussions and actions, so rhe readers can follow.

This one is titled Genesis. I just started it. From the inside flap summary, it involves using both DNA and genealogical websites to solve a murder case, which expands to more than one murder.. I have a good general (very general) understanding of DNA and genealogy is a hobby of mine, so it looked like a good read for me.

Cook always presents thought-provoking medical ethics issues in his books, which is one. reason I enjoy them. They have more depth than the average murder mystery. Also, there is diversity among his characters and the women are capable and responsible, as well as having full personal social lives. And, of course, the stories are entertainong and hold the reader's interest.

I went through a non-fiction spell for a while and am back to fiction again with this book.
