   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) nitrolpost | Mar 19, 2024 |   ) lbswiener | Jul 25, 2023 |  ) MrMet | Apr 28, 2023 | However, Death Match was, well, boring. My wife and I listened to it in the car on the way to work, and we both had it figured out somewhere around 1/3 of the way in. I personally thought the characters were a little two dimensional and cliche. The action wasn't very exciting, and the final scene was more complicated than it needed to be. I'm still going to give it 3 stars because it was a fun read. Not a read I would visit again, but a fun read nonetheless. (  ) bxwretlind | Dec 10, 2021 | Though very typical (and enjoyable) of a regular Lincoln Child novel, the technical aspect and possibilities were great in this story. Probing the edges of realistic Artificial Intelligence, Child kept my interest in what I found otherwise to be a boring story. ( ) Ralphd00d | May 4, 2021 | no reviews | add a review

HTML: Lewis and Lindsay Thorpe were the perfect couple: young, attractive, and ideally matched. But the veil of perfection can mask many blemishes. When the Thorpes are found dead in their tasteful Flagstaff living room (having committed double suicide), alarms go off in the towering Manhattan offices of Eden Incorporated, the high-tech matchmaking company whose spectacular success, and legendary secrecy, has inspired awe around the world. The Thorpes, few people knew, were more than the quintessential happy couple, they were Eden's first perfect match. A short time later, Christopher Lash, a gifted former FBI forensic psychologist, receives an urgent plea from Eden to perform a quick, and quiet, investigation into the deaths. Lash's psychological autopsy reveals nothing suspicious, but inadvertently dredges up the memories of a searing personal tragedy he has kept at bay for years. The situation changes suddenly when a second Eden couple is found dead, by all appearances another double suicide. Now Eden, particularly Richard Silver, the company's brilliant and reclusive founder, has no choice but to grant Lash unprecedented access to its most guarded secrets if he is to have any chance of determining what is going wrong. The hidden world he discovers is a stunning labyrinth of artificial intelligence, creative genius, and a melding of technology that does indeed, to Lash's surprise, deliver on Eden's promise to its clients: the guarantee of a perfect, lifelong mate. But Lash's involvement in the investigation becomes more personal and dangerous than he could have imagined, nearly as soon as it begins. .No library descriptions found. |
