About this listen

Math Professor Sophie Knowles shares her teaching venue with many other math and science faculty, most of whom she gets along with. But one in particular gives Sophie and her teaching assistant, Rachel, a hard time, thus annoying both women. When this colleague, a professor of chemistry, is found dead, poisoned in his office, Rachel is the prime suspect. It’s up to Sophie to put her talent for designing and solving puzzles to use to find his killer.

It beats me how many woeful readers there are. They can totally ruin a decent book. I have given the story 3 stars in the hope that with a different reader it may have been less boring. Between the storyline and the reader, I could not listen any further. If there were any exciting revelations discovered by the use of math methods, I didn’t get to them. I shall be asking for an exchange!

Boring!

I enjoyed this mystery, set in a college, as I like academic sleuths. However I did not enjoy the narrators voice. Her pitch was often too high, the voices she gave the characters were improbable, and the alarm and phone sound effects were awful.
If I want more in the series, I’ll try ebooks, unless there is a different narrator.

Quite a good mystery set in a college.
