Standard murder mystery with some interesting math/logic byways.
Para este libro he escrito una reseña en mi blog. Les dejo el link : http://lesporliteratura.com/2019/05/05/crimenes-imperceptibles/
A Young Argentinian mathematician is going to Oxford on a grant. Sometime after meeting is new landlady and her grand-daughter he finds her death. A note listing her death as “first in the series” is left for a math professor. Will the mathematicians be able to find the solution and stop a killer.
Even if maths and series are an important part of the story, knowledge of advanced maths is absolutely not necessary to understand and even solve the mystery. It is a good and fast read (less than 200 pages).
