Poorly done!

Not at all an enjoyable story. To heavy on the math problems and academic discussions. Halfway through I gave up. Unfortunately, I ordered the first three of the five book series. I am an avid reader, over a hundred books a year, this ranks at the bottom.

enjoyable, different

A fun book in an academic setting. The story contains a somewhat unusual mystery involving the mysterious deaths of mathematicians at Cambridge University. The narrative also includes puzzles, problems, and literary quotes that the school teacher-amateur sleuth-protagonist includes as part of her discussion of her teaching duties. I found these diverting by themselves, but they become important for the story as well.
