She read
Publication Date: Aug. 4, 2020
Julia visits Grant on the Mediterranean Island where he lives to edit and publish a book of mystery stories written by him twenty five years ago. Grant, a mathematician, has a theory that there is a mathematical structure to murder mysteries. The story alternates between Julia reading the stories aloud and a discussion with Grant. The stories are
old fashioned mystery tales such as ones writtenin the early twentieth century. Julia feels there is something amiss with Grant and seeks to find out what it is.
This is a different approach to a mystery and I salute the unique approach. The first 3/4 of the book engaged me, but, alas, my attention waned in the last 1/4 of book. Still, it is an intriguing read.
