Needs a bit of an introduction & it's hard to keep following in some parts. However, the last stages of the book are so good! Very unexpected and a dramatic plot twist

Detective meta-ficiton. A woman reads 7 short murder mysteries back to their original author as they discuss how each one fits into the "mathematical rules" of the mystery genre.
Very well executed, with each short story being a recognizable twist on a famous mystery story (if you read a lot of Christie).
The ending was a pleasant surprise, and deviated from what I had been expecting all along.
