For someone who hates maths I friggin loved this book!! Each chapter is a different murder mystery demonstrating a mathematical concept derived from a theory that murder mysteries have to follow an equation to be successful e.g. victim cannot = 0 otherwise there would be no murder to have a mystery. Bigger plot overarching with a twist at the end which was okay, but the twists within the actual murder mysteries were phenomenal. Very digestible book.
