In my earlier post, I had written that I picked up two books from Odyssey. I finished reading one of them.
"In the Shadow of Gotham" by Stefanie Pintoff
The book won the Edgar Award for the "Best First Novel" by an American. It is set in 1905 in New York.
The protagonist, detective inspector Ziele is assigned the task of solving the murder of Sarah Wingate a doctoral student of Mathematics, who is working on the Riemann Hypothesis.
Who murdered her?
Ziele is assisted by Alistair Sinclair a researcher who analyses what drives people to commit crimes. He says that one of his case-studies Michael Fromley might have committed the crime.
The story progresses as more mysterious happenings take place and Fromley's dead body is discovered.
Read the novel to discover who the real villain is?
A good mix of history and crime. Interesting and definitely a good read.
Sounds interesting, I will have to pick it up. Right now I'm trying to read a few good books from this list
