The Oxford Murders


For a change from the drama, children's books, and other classics, I read this mystery by Guillermo Martinez (who I believe is from Spain). This mystery combines math/logic puzzles with murder mystery! However, not all mystery readers would enjoy this book - those looking for a little intellectual stimulation will find it here. Those looking for cats with antics or hairdressers with a knack for private investigation would probably not like The Oxford Murders much. I am not very "mathy" and I liked it because it didn't feel like a fluff book.

Recommended for "thinkers" and people who enjoy math, chess, or other logic puzzles.
