There is a lot to like about this novel (quirky characters, a murder mystery, etc.), but for some reason it just didn’t come together for me. Although I was able to skim through the math bits, I still struggled to get through it. There were too many characters for me to keep track of (a family tree at the beginning would have been super helpful!) and there were multiple POVs, so I felt confused most of the time. I also found the tone to be quite odd. There was humor in many scenes but then also a lot of dark situations and violence, so I felt like I had whiplash during the whole thing. I probably won’t be recommending this one.
