A Mystery by the Numbers

review 1: Mystery by the Numbers, Book 1. This is kind of a new to me author...I have read his books that he writes under other names (Tim Mayers) but not under this name. He is a good writer and I enjoyed this book very much. The action kept coming and so did the clues. I figured out some of it before Savannah did and other parts where a surprise to me. Savannah is a retired math teacher that now makes math logic puzzles. Zach, her husband, is a retired Cheif of Police. Zach now does consulting for the police. He gets called in on a double murder in his home town (Charlotte) and Savannah goes with him to help. Between helping Zach solve the murders she takes a few side trips and mends some bridges with her family and almost gets killed before the book is finished.All thoug... moreh this is the first book of the series it kept referring back to thinks that had happen in the past and left me wondering if it was really the first book. I could not find a reference to a previous book in the series so guess that this is just the way he decided to write it. I will be looking for the next book in this series.
review 2: Mildly interesting. Set in Charlotte NC and near Hickory, so it felt like home. The main couple is a woman who constructs number puzzles for publication, and her husband, the ex-police chief of Charlotte. He's called back to Charlotte to consult on a serial killer. Fine, so far. The POV is hers, and I found it very annoying that she was prone to using "my husband" instead of his name -- my husband would never do that; when I spoke to my husband, he said...; my husband asked the suspect a question; etc etc. I got it, lady; you're married. The whole tone of the book made it seem like the middle of a series but I can't find any indication that this author has written another book. Fair, but not noteworthy. less
