I found this short mystery fascinating due to its cerebral nature. Joining serious mathematics with murder made this novel unique in my experience.
When an Argentine math student at Oxford presumedly based on the author's own experience discovers the smothered body of his landlady, conventional wisdom points to a family member with the most prosaic of motives.
However a famous logician, Arthur Seldom, and author of a book on the mathematics of serial killers, shares the appearance of a strange I found this short mystery fascinating due to its cerebral nature.
However a famous logician, Arthur Seldom, and author of a book on the mathematics of serial killers, shares the appearance of a strange note in his mailbox.
The murder may be the first of a series linked by a mysterious pattern. More bodies pile up, apparently of natural causes, but each paired with a message bearing a new arcane symbol.
Arthur and his student ponder whether the deaths are innocent or the subtle, "imperceptible" homicides of a madman seeking to match wits with the great logician, and they rack their brains to decipher a pattern behind the signs before another corpse turns up.
The author, Guillermo Martinez, is a novelist with a Ph. His writing style, while conventionally elegant, is enhanced with brief disquisitions on Gödel's theorem, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and Wittgenstein's paradox, which demonstrates "the impossibility of establishing an unambiguous rule.
The combination of math and mystery works very well in this interesting and intriguing novel. Jun 07, Judy rated it really liked it Recommends it for: mystery readers not scared of a little math.
Shelves: mybooks. I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery that has two mathematicians as the main characters. As a mathematician, it just tickled that part of me, because I don't find a lot of math in novels.
As another reader noted, it loses some of its credibility when one mathematician explains to the other something they both already should know, but in reality it is being elucidated for the reader.
This usually works better when written in the third person for that reason. On the other hand, I know when this is ha I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery that has two mathematicians as the main characters.
On the other hand, I know when this is happening in a book, and it really doesn't bother me. First person gave us so much more insight into the twists of the tale.
I liked that fact that I didn't fully guess the answer to the mystery before the end. Setting a story in charming Oxford is just the icing on the cake.

And then we find out the math genius has hatched a plan to protect a family friend who has committed murder-- oh, please! Have no idea how I came to read this in the first place, but spare yourself.

One for the Charity Shop! Oct 16, Jan C rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery , england , I enjoyed this.
Unfortunately I had it on the shelf for a while. I picked it up yesterday and realized I just had 40 pp left. So I finished it today. It was on the shelf too long - I had to return to the beginning to refresh my memory about it.
Jul 16, Lorenzo Berardi rated it did not like it Shelves: , argentinean , a-my-english-library. I would have never wondered that a movie from Hollywood could have been better than a novel by a writer from Argentina.
Which is like saying that I prefer a McDonald's plastic-like burger to a succulent meaty asado. But, well, there's always a first time.
For the big screen version of "The Oxford Murders" is far from being brilliant, but still better than the original version of the story on print.
I think this should tell you a lot regarding this novel. And when you do prefer the big-eyed Elijah I would have never wondered that a movie from Hollywood could have been better than a novel by a writer from Argentina.
And when you do prefer the big-eyed Elijah Wood and his naive American attitude and accent "I don't understand" to the unnamed Argentinean main character of this book, that means how this novel is a utter failure.
Unfortunately, from the second sentence onwards everything began to collapse. Let's face it: the plot of "The Oxford Murders" is dull.
The characters are flat, unrealistic and blabber way too much about their own number theories in a way that has nothing of intellectual but is a mix between a cheap imitation of the scholars' lingo and a Dan Brown outtake.
Not that Martinez prove to be any better of Mr Brown: actually sometimes he is even worse than him. A few lines are absolutely ludicrous especially while the author is trying to add some exciting red hot chili moments to the boring repetition of those number series of him.
Number series you can easily find on one of those "Get your IQ in 30 minutes" paperbacks. In order to excite his little half-wits readers, Martinez calls a thin woman "very huggable" mmmh, spicy!
Moreover, the author doesn't even try to justify his choice of choosing Oxford as the main set of this novel by not creating any atmosphere of the town.
It's one year I live in Oxfordshire and, apart from naming some local places here and there, Martinez couldn't catch a hint of the town with its mysteries kept beyond the high walls of the colleges.
The reason why this book gets two stars and not one is merely because I lived in Oxford and feel a kind of sympathy for the novelists who put the town on paper Waugh, McEwan, Marias That and a surprising reference to one of my favourite Italian writers: Dino Buzzati.
But it's not showing us that he read Buzzati and Prevert and studied a whole lot of maths that Guillermo Martinez can save this book from a well deserved death by numbers.
The year is , and a young Argentine mathematician arrives in Oxford to continue his graduate studies. The Oxford Murders begins with so much promise - and yes, so much familiarity!
The plane flies across the Atlantic and descends through cloud cover to emerge over the rolling green fields of England. Martinez's descriptions of Oxford will rin The year is , and a young Argentine mathematician arrives in Oxford to continue his graduate studies.
Martinez's descriptions of Oxford will ring a bell to anyone who's spent any time there - Cornmarket and Carfax Tower, Merton and Magdalen, the Parks and the Playhouse, Tolkien's pub, the Bodleian, the Ashmolean, the Sheldonian - everything is here, everything, the author faithfully capturing the timeless ambience of a very old and very special town.
There's a terrifying scene set in Radcliffe Hospital where Martinez trots out, of all people, Dino Buzzati whose The Tartar Steppe made such an impression on me last year.
A concert ends with a crescendo in Blenheim Palace where I remember a particularly fine summer's day in , surrounded by the sights and sounds of a country fair.
Even old Woodstock Road, where I spent a short year stewing in my own infernal juices, makes an appearance There are THREE murders to be precise, and it's all tied up somehow with the ancient cult of Pythagoras and his number system.
There are a couple of suspects who are lightly fingered before the author lets them go. There is an unnecessary amount of paranormal hocus-pocus.
There is a good bit of gratuitous sex. But in the end, I found both puzzle and solution to be rather uninspired. Indeed, the book brought back to me my general dissatisfaction with genre writing of this nature.
I've tried over and over, but it just doesn't seem to work for me. At least, Andrew Wiles lurking in the background with his proof of Fermat's theorem helps to perk up some interest.
An unconventional mystery, then, recommended to everyone with a mathematical bent of mind, but in the final analysis an unsatisfying read. The translator probably didn't do the writer any favours either.
Three stars is about right. Firstly, I am surprised this book I only 3 stars on Goodreads. There is very little to dislike about this book.
It is a strange mix of mystery and mathematics which may seem a little heavy going at first but stick with it people , you soon get loads of twists and turns that will keep you guessing all the way through which for me is the best bit about a mystery novel.
Soon after his arrival, his landla Firstly, I am surprised this book I only 3 stars on Goodreads. I do agree at times this book is a little maths heavy with multiple theories flying around.
Smart, questioning, quick-paced writing which makes this book irresistible to put down. For what it is worth I absolutely loved the hospital Buzzati theory about the floors circling down to death.
I have no idea if this is a real thing or made up for the book but it was very clever. If you go on to read the book I am sure this bit will stand out to you.
The book is written with a rather formal writing style possibly to exaggerate that the narrator is not English-born? Murders that no one sees as murders.
Fast-paced, clever narrative, interesting characters, all with the beautiful Oxford backdrop. Alternatively, please contact me if you want me to clarify something in my review.
Mar 26, Roisin rated it liked it Recommends it for: crime enthusiast commuters. I have had to give this book three stars because, essentially, it was a really enjoyable read [as most crime novels of this kind are].
However, although its a classic example of a who-dunnit I felt hampered by the fact that it seemed so incredibly badly written and equally poorly edited.
I am aware that it is a translation and perhaps this goes some way to excusing it. The fact that the writer is himself a mathmetician and not some kind of writer can barely be seen as an excuse, plently of good I have had to give this book three stars because, essentially, it was a really enjoyable read [as most crime novels of this kind are].
The fact that the writer is himself a mathmetician and not some kind of writer can barely be seen as an excuse, plently of good writers are scientists and doctors as opposed to career authors or journalists.
This is such an inexplicably short book. It could easily have covered double the number of pages that it does. It is very unusual for me to complain that a book is too short but the writing here was not so much concise as profoundly under-developed.
The characters were so under developed that everyone became a completely plausible culprit to the murders, not because they appeared to have secrets but because the reader simply knew nothing about any of them.
I love reading books and watching films set in locations with which I am familiar so on that level it was, again, an enjoyable read.
Apparently the author spent some time living in Oxford and he includes a surprising amount of geographical details [this amount of development is curious considering the profound underdevelopment everywhere else].
Strangely, however, these details are often inaccurate. Oxford maybe small but a brief walk during a cigarette break appears to take the characters a distance of about 2 miles!
There were other completely inplausible details - a dead badger left in the road for over a month, amazing yo-yoing weather [I suppose it is England], a stupidly fast romance.

Some numbskull has just paid for a museum guidebook with 50 pence. Also full of unpleasant Americanisms - lockdown facility - swear down an oath - ME - police department - liquor And talking about liquor she might want to check out the history of lager drinking in England between the wars - especially when the story is supposed to be about Germany!

The Principal would almost certainly have referred to "my colleagues", or, just possibly, "the academic staff". The Ploughman's Lunch per se, did not exist in England until an advertising campaign introduced the term in the s - Cat could not have ordered one in the s.
Indeed at the time pubs served very little in the way of food other than bar snacks that didn't need cutlery. And, in any event, women generally did not go into pubs - any woman who did so would be assumed to be "available".
Nor would Dot have said she was "going down to London" - no one, to this day, born in the south speaks of anything other than "going up to Town", whether they are coming up from the south or down from the north.
And an Oxford don such as Dr. Harry, would never have used "gotten" - particularly one versed in English literature - Shakespeare used it, but it survived only in the US and occasionally in Scotland.
I could go on, but, please - if you write American stick to setting your stories in America - the oddities of language mis-use really grate.

I thought this was poorly written. Lots of details on inconsequential items. Not enough details on the plot.
Poor character developments. The story jumped around as if the writer was in manic mode. Many historical inconsistencies. Oct 11, J.
Stefanie rated it it was ok. This effort was at best worth two stars, and I considered one. Writing any historical piece requires an examination of the history of the time.
This book, set in , contains numerous anachronisms which serve to jar the reader. Two points 1 - the 'heroine'; jabs to call in an emergency situation.
Not sure what a caller would have gotten with in I understand the author is a champ at restoration novels; perhaps that is her proper writing domain.
As to the writing - it switches between a faint attempt at the '30s Strewth, Crikey but the whole is swallowed up in a monotone which is perhaps best signified by the 'flat' police procedural.
There is no color, character development, etc Oxford is drawn from a Google map - tons of locations and street names, but 'no on the ground' views of the environment.
Oh, by the way, a nod to Danielle Steel - all the primary characters are rich, come from exquisite backgrounds, attend sherry parties, and drive 'motors' although automobile was a term in use in the '30s - except amongst the Steel types!
No spoilers here. Oh, and a final note, this has the overtone of a 'cost', but it isn't; the university in OPxfords is denoted in American terms Dean rather than Master, for example.
Americanisms abound and decimalization has arrived early in England. I have not read the author's romance series; I was interested in this book because it was 1 - an historical fiction; 2 - it was set in Oxford.
