Add me to the ranks of Cannonballers who enthusiastically recommend this book. And the only reason it’s not fully enthusiastic is that Dr. Mütter’s Marvels wasn’t quite what I thought it would be.
Not just Coyote
So it turns out that I have downloaded/bought about eleventybillion titles for my Kindle and read less than half of them (I don’t feel too guilty about this, because books and also because a lot of them were freebies). Despite that lack of guilt, I’ve decided I need to go through and, well, make my way through all of them. At least in this case it wasn’t a total mistake.

But the novel is so much more than that.
