  <default_description> &lt;B&gt;Two mathematicians must join forces to stop a serial killer in this spellbinding international  bestseller&lt;/B&gt; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; A paperback sensation in Argentina, Spain, and the United Kingdom, &lt;I&gt;The Oxford Murders&lt;/I&gt;  has been hailed as &quot;a remarkable feat&quot; (&lt;I&gt;Time Out&lt;/I&gt; London) and its author as &quot;one of  Argentina's most distinctive voices&quot; (&lt;I&gt;The Times Literary Supplement&lt;/I&gt;). It begins on a  summer day in Oxford, when a young Argentine graduate student finds his landlady&amp;#151;an elderly  woman who helped crack the Enigma Code during World War II &amp;#151;murdered in cold blood. Meanwhile, a renowned Oxford logician  receives an anonymous note bearing a circle and the words &quot;the first of a series.&quot; As the murders  begin to pile up and more symbols are revealed, it is up to this unlikely pair to decipher the  pattern before the killer strikes again.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[math and murder. seemed fairly exciting, though I had not heard of the movie that was made from the book (so can't have been very good, right?). I thought it was a little too short a nvoel to try to get through a series of murders, leading to a rather superficial treatment. but a good read overall, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66834708">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this murder by numbers (literally) mystery. The writing was okay, not great. I felt that there could have been more suspense, a bit more thrilling tension.  The mystery kept me intrigued throughout the entire book and even provided a slight twist at the end. My only complaint about the boo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60955931">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting conceit but the sense of danger is lacking. Even though I am a sucker for stories set in England, the sense of time (1990s) and place were not a pungent as they might have been. I'll probably give the author another try. Math was never my strong suit so maybe it's me!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An interesting mystery with a classic twist, a pinch of mathematics and a first person POV that is quite engaging. The murder mystery deeply set in the mathematic world is intriguing even for people who don't know anything about logics and series and theorems. The math angle is not a turn off and do...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1761381">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It held my interest even though I'm less than sketchy on the math, which is integrated into the plot.  The characters are not especially well developed but the plot is, so -- it's ok.  Jenn, I'll swap this for The Brief Wondrous Life ... if that' still on offer.  ]]></body>
