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.

An entertaining detective murder mystery, kept me guessing up to the last chapter. A little bit folksy if you like that kind of thing

Enjoyable whodunnit

I loved Sophie and Bruce, the intriguing mystery and all the twists and turns, but most of all I loved the narration by Chris Kenworthy. She really brought the story to life.

A review copy of this book was sent to me by the author. All of the above opinions are my own.

Intriguing mystery.

I enjoyed this, when I listen I try to imagine the scenes in my head like a film, and the story, the people, the details involved made it such a good listen.

I thoroughly enjoyed the narration it was so pleasant to listen too, my only minor fault was they could have used proper sounds as opposed to talking sounds!

My only other issue was the length (to be fair it put me off starting it earlier), but with the details involved and the story I found it enjoyable and like a book doing a few chapters at a time and then going back over it to remember I now look forward to hopefully listening to the next book.

A thoroughly enjoyable listen
