I thought this was a solid mystery and I really didn't see the plot twist coming for the resolution. It was tragic and oh so human. Nevertheless only a So-So for me because of the drag in the middle, the wooden dialogues and the weird relationship between the detective and the physicists who were supposed to be friends.
