Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-01 00:00:00 Heath Rosier The Law of Falling Bodies uses physics so a lot of technical jargon in the beginning chapters which is boring and slows down the reading. The books takes place on campus in a college town. A hated physics professor is murdered. The police have no suspects and no motive. Grad student Mark sees the chalk outline and realizes the m urder couldn't have happned the way a witness described it and gets sucked into the investigation. Of course, Mark's romantic interest in the lead investigator, Rachel, has nothing to do with this. The action heats up once the murder occurs. The only problem I had with this book was the whole Nazi concentration camp / Nazi war criminal back story. Definitely not my kinda reading material. It made for an interesting twist to the plot though. Honestly, the only reason I read this book is because the authors name has an X in it...needed it for an A-Z author reading challenge.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-20 00:00:00 Brent M Rothchild extremely dated, the history section on the erasure of women's punishment for sexual deviance is the best chapter (and draws heavily from other historians), he position that (lesbians in particular, people in general) can use and be used by the law feels non-committal in dealing with legal issues because everytime she brings up a good point *against* the rule of law she immediately points out "well the law can do this *positive thing*." If you do legal theory and GLBT/Queer Studies this is worth a read although its pre-Lawrence v. Texas so there is that issue...
