SIMPLE GENIUS: David Baldacci: Warner Books: 2007: 420 pagesFormer secret service agents turned private investigators, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, are hired to check out a mysterious death being ruled as a possible suicide of a researcher named Monk Turing who works for an secretive laboratory in Virginia that happens to be located directly across the York river from Camp Peary, a super secret training ground for the CIA and the location where Monk Turing’s body was found.
Sean and Michelle begin searching for answers but find few people willing to tell them anything about the laboratory or Camp Peary. What begins as a search for the reason behind one man’s death leads to more murders, secret codes connected to World War II German POWs, hidden treasure, and much much more.
Overall I enjoyed this thriller even though the language, characters and plot were at times a little too cliché. I think this book would appeal more to people who enjoy a slowly unfolding mystery than some one looking for a good action thriller.
