Overview

It all started one spring morning, with a complicated calculus problem that Beth Bryant couldn't figure out. Hoping to get a little help from the brilliant Stone twins, Rick & Ryan, Beth leaves them the problem, getting their assurance that they'll have it figured out by early afternoon. But by 2:00, the calculas problem is the least of their problems. When Beth goes to retrieve the promised answer, she finds Ryan dead, slumped over his computer, while his cousin babbles about pi in the corner. Then the police arrive, informing her someone tried to murder Ryan's brother Rick as well. Suddenly she finds herself under suspicion, and the FBI has become involved. Now, not only do the police suspect she's witholding information and pull her in for more questioning, but the Feds are following her every move..and they're looking for more than who murdered Ryan, and she has no idea what it could be. All that Beth is sure of is three things: she couldn't trust anyone, nothing is what it appears to be, and she is in great danger...

A story of calculus and murder. This was an average story I got it because I was interested in how the math would play in the story. The ending was a bit of a surpise and possibly set up for another story.

Not a great book. I didn't like the characters very much, especially Beth. She sounded like a spoiled idiot. Part of it may have been the narrator. He had areally annoying voice.

Having never read anything by these authors, I have no basis for comparison but I did find that the storyline did flow fairly well. Some storyline threads were lost in the abridging process but enough of the plot fabric remained to make the story cohesive. I enjoyed the story but was underwhelmed with the ending.

A little scattered

Well read, but the book is a little scattered. Great concept. Suspenseful. Slightly predictable, but worth listening to. Keeps you listening to find out the ending, which was unexpected.
