A review by deanie
The Square Root of Murder by Ada Madison, Camille Minichino

4.0

When a hated colleague is murdered and her own assistant implicated, math professor Dr. Sophie Knowles uses her puzzle solving skills to help the police solve the crime.

I'm surprised by a lot of the low ratings given to this book. I though it was a fun, clever mystery. I don't know a lot about small, Massachusetts liberal arts colleges, but it doesn't seem too far off base to me. I know a lot of math-and-science focused people who are like Sophie. While not everything flows smoothly (like the false confession and sudden reveal of the killer), it's still a good start to series I can't wait to read more of.
