For a few entries in the series, it felt that that hasn’t been the template, but Unnatural Histories follows that pattern again.

This is the 38th book in the Alex Delaware series and while I haven’t read them all I have read several and I enjoy these characters a lot.

Despite or perhaps because of his traumatic childhood, Delaware remains an empathetic observer of human nature.
