Case Study: A Taylor Case Mystery

C. R. Cardin
Evolution Press (2008)
ISBN 9780979741265
Reviewed by Elizabeth E. Gibson-Evans for RebeccasReads (3/08)

“Case Study: A Taylor Case Mystery” is one of the best mysteries I have read in a very long time. I say this because the author writes this book in a manner that makes you feel as if you are right there in the story; your mind takes you into what the author describes excellently to bring them into the action.  It is like being right there watching the story transpire before you as if watching a movie.

This mystery takes place in the South.  The main character is Dr. Taylor Case, PhD, who is a Professor at Georgetown University. You find her teaching about chemistry, science and crime -- forensics. Then you find yourself as if in a “Laura Croft - Tomb Raider” movie as your mind starts reeling the images and actions described in the book.

Now drawn into the story of disappearances is child pornography (though not graphically distasteful).  You are intrigued by the mystery of what happened, by whom and now a mysterious secret-agent-like “Laura Croft,” with her wit, capabilities and secret arsenal, takes you on a ride you cannot stop nor desire to until you have all the answers.

I am one reader who will be looking forward to books written by C. R. Cardin. The story, descriptions of everything from a cloud to characters are right on the mark, keeping you enthralled and unable to put the book down. Wonderful writing, exceptional story, characters and action, would make a wonderful TV/Movie series. I hope that the Taylor Case mysteries continue.

I recommend “Case Study: A Taylor Case Mystery” to all mystery lovers, nonfiction or fiction, and, most certainly, anyone seeking excitement while they read that is almost taking place before them.
