Product Description:

E-Harmony is an amateur compared to Eden Inc. At least that seems to be the case in Death Match by Lincoln Child. Only thing is, those that found the perfect mate are now committing suicide.
At least that is what their deaths look like...
Christopher Lash, a forensic psychologist, is hired to find out what's happening...I thought it was great that he failed to qualify for a match!
I figured this mystery out, but it is still a great book!

One thing is absolutely certain- Child & Preston both do their best work when they are writing together. That's not to say that their individual works are terrible, but it's pretty clear that they seem to complement each other & make up for the other's shortcomings. That factor is slightly apparent in this novel, even though it's one of my favorites by Lincoln Child as an individual writer.
Death Match is about a matchmaking company named Eden. Eden's not just any type of matchmaker company ... Read More

This one isn't as tense or thrilling as Child's work with Douglas Preston to whom he gives credit for a chapter here. The story builds as we are introduced to the ultimate dating service. Unintended (or intended) consequences result in two double murders and the threat of a third.
If you're looking for a nail biter or a read-until-dawn experience, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. If, however, a combination of murder, match-making and artificial intelligence sounds intriguing, log on, by all means. ... Read More

This story started out fine. I was ready for a murder thriller. But by the end, it simply turned into what resembled a computer manual. I also didn't care for the narrator in tne downloaded ebook version. He sounded eerily computer-generated.

I listened to the audiobook version, well read by Barrett Whitener.
Mr. Child's ability to generate unputdownable pageturners is beyond any reasonable dispute, whether he's writing by himself or with Douglas Preston. I stayed up way too late listening to events unfold and trying to solve the mystery. The plot is absorbing and suspenseful. I am grateful that Mr. Child knows that the past tense of "spring" is "sprang"!
I do have a few quibbles, though, which I offer mainly for Mr. Child ... Read More
