Kick off book to the Bug Man series. Nick is a forensic entomologist who's hired by grieving widow Kathryn after one of her best male friends is found dead of an apparent suicide. The book is fascinating with all of the information & science jargon having to do with bugs like flies, scorpions, bees, etc. Nick starts investigating for Kathryn and includes her in the investigation as a requirement to help her overcome her fear of insects. Delving into the mystery puts Nick in the cross hairs of the local sheriff (who has a history with Kathryn, the victim, & her deceased husband.) Nick lives in the bug world & isn't really good with human connection and is analytical and humorous. Kathryn is tightly wound and isn't sure if she really wants answers or not. Another dead body happens and everything Kathryn has know is put to the test along with Nick's bug evidence. Looking forward to reading the next in series
