The story has a good beginning, Lenore Hurley trying to save wildlife from an oil spill which happens to have taken place in the body of water she had been researching for her newly awarded PhD. However, that is the last time we see Lenore in that kind of situation. She then accepts a position as a lab assistant to work on organisms to clean up oil spills naturally. From then on, her time seems to be mostly filled with cleaning test tubes, snooping through her boss’s papers, and carrying on with the owner of the laboratory complex, Simon Winter. There seemed to me to be something missing in their mutual attraction that just didn’t quite make them believable to me as a couple. Meanwhile, Lenore suspects Dr. Waite of being up to something nefarious, but only half-heartedly attempts to bring the matter to Simon’s attention. And of course, he doesn’t get very excited about her half-formed suspicions at first.
