I love that it's a mystery rooted in science (or "science"). As a biologist, it's fun to read a mystery book with terms you saw in your genetics classes used as integral clues. 
I also love a good ensemble cast, and this book got me attached to several main characters with the narrative switches and different mystery-solving niches.
