The Mind of a Genius

David Snowdon created The Mind of a Genius with a theme that seems to appear often: government secrets. A British man named Malcolm Prince discovered a formula that can replace gasoline with a more environmentally-safe liquid. However, the Prince unexpectedly dies, leaving a wife to be questioned by the MI4, CIA, and Denmark Intelligence agents. These three spy companies all work carefully and professionally, until their own dealings put agents in jail, and in love. Mrs. Prince is at first a tool, but circumstances change as the agents chip away at the mystery surrounding the formula.
Mr. Snowdon certainly managed to make two themes clear. The first, and most outstanding theme, shows that love conquers all. The secondary theme exposes the government and how it can so easily hide secrets from its people. The dominant theme surprised me in how the action-filled story could suddenly turn into a romance, but David Snowdon achieved the morphing phase slowly and surely over the course of the book. The Mind of a Genius has an exciting plot, perfect characterization, and enough romance to keep it smooth.
Several sexual scenes.
