Death Match by Lincoln Child
book 29: Death Match by Lincoln Child
This is mostly a when-technology-goes-wrong pulp fiction novel with elements of artifical intellegence ethics and murder mystery thrown in. A psychologist is hired to investigate some apparent double-suicides among clients of a computerized match-making service. The author, Lincoln Child, is part of the pair, Preston and Child, who write a favorite mystery/adventure series of mine, so I thought I would give some of his solo books a shot. It's okay, overall. Some of the plot devices and character actions seemed far-fetched to me, and I didn't really become engaged or attached with any of the characters. But, it was entertaining enough to pass the time. Not horrible, maybe average, but there are plenty of books out there to choose from which are better.
