A book editor has traveled internationally to meet the reclusive author and mathematician who long ago published a collection of seven short stories that mathematically explain all murder mystery novels. The editor would like to republish the collection with some new insights, but over the course of their conversations, she starts to develop some suspicions that not everything is as it seems with the author.
Presented as the collection of stories interspersed with the conversations between the author and editor, Pavesi presents a nesting doll of overlapping mysteries, many of which hearken back to the golden age of mysteries. It's clever, it's hard to put down, and it keeps the reader guessing. Recommended for amateur sleuths and fans of older mysteries.
