Finished "A Quantum Murder", by Peter F. Hamilton. The second book in the "Greg Mandel" trilogy of near-future SF detective stories. Following his successful investigation of industrial espionage in the Event Horizon corporation ("Mindstar Rising"), Greg Mandel is asked by the billionaire owner of Event Horizon, Julia Evans, to assist the police in their investigation of the seemingly impossible murder of a reclusive scientist in a country house in which he and his six students lived. An SF twist on the classic "English Country House" detective story. As with the previous book, I thoroughly enjoyed this and would whole-heartedly recommend it. Truly excellent.
