Product Description

Review

'An enthralling conflict between the heart and the mind'. OBSERVER 'Unusual blend of murder most foul and mathematics most pure ... a playful intellectual exercise' DAILY MAIL 'An intellectual thriller that can be much enjoyed even by those whose grasp of mathematics is limited' THE TIMES --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

London Review of Books, 20 January 2005

'The plot rattles along ... pausing occasionally to fill the reader in with a bit of necessary theoretical background'. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 14 Mar 2005
This review is from: The Oxford Murders (Paperback)
The author may know a lot about maths but he doesn't seem to know a lot about people. These are some of the flatest characters I have ever encountered...uttering some of the dullest dialogue know to man- (and indeed woman-) kind. The use of Oxford as a location seems based on an afternoon spent on Google...if it wasn't for the constant, and rather irritating, name dropping it could have been anywhere.

Also could someone please tell overseas writers that English policemen do NOT carry concealed weapons...

1.0 out of 5 stars Downhill after a promising start, 9 Dec 2007
By S. Finch (Stratford-upon-Avon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Oxford Murders (Paperback)
At first this novel promised to be a testing and original mystery but sadly by the mid point it was on a downhill path. Even with poor mathematical abilities the culprit and motive were obvious all along. I waited for a surprise twist that never came. One thing in its favour is that it has inspired me to take a look at the theories mentioned. Perhaps there is more to mathematics than tedious school maths classes suggested.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read, 6 Nov 2005
By D. E. Lip "duncan1024" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Oxford Murders (Paperback)
Shortly after an Argentinean student arrives in Oxford to study mathematics / logic, he comes home one day to find his landlady has been murdered. The inclusion of mathematics and the associated logical thought processes behind it, presents the basis of an interesting detective novel. OK, there is the odd minor mistake here and there but it is an interesting series of murders to solve. I didn’t think the solution to the murders was obvious at all. Half way through the book and I couldn’t put it down, I had to finish it.

My only real problem was that it was short and I think that the characters could have been expanded both in background and personality, which would have added to my enjoyment of the solution.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crime thriller that is not much cop
I'm sorry, this is an awful book. It reads like a sub-standard script for the TV programme Num3ers and must be in line for a 'most implausable dialogue ever written' award.
