I bought this book not knowing what to expect really. I'm not a "math" or numbers person and was fearful it would be over my head in that department. I couldn't have been more wrong. Martinez makes the math and numbers game easy to understand and weaves a really incredible story about murder and deciphering. I highly recommend it!

Great relatively short but entertaining story. Not as mathematical as you might think but with a twist ending. Unusual story line. Plods a bit at first but I read the last third of the book at one sitting. Worth the read.

This book started out a bit slow, but picked up. Definitely will keep you guessing right up until the end.

I enjoyed this mystery. Has its mathmatics back story but not enough to scare the non-mathematician. Appeals to those of an accademic bent and those who like English, esp. Oxford settings. Reminds a little of an Inspector Morse story.

very good read but you need to have some concept of upper level mathematics to be able to get the real intrigue from it.
