THE LAST EQUATION OF ISAAC SEVERY A Novel in Clues

In an upbeat, involving narration of this fun and quirky mystery, Lisa Flanagan does a fine job of allowing listeners to become only as confused as the author intends. Trust her not to let you sink beneath the clues, and you'll have a fine time trying to figure out what the devil mathematician Isaac Severy's posthumous final directive means. You see, Severy, who seems to have committed suicide, left his granddaughter, Hazel, a letter asking her to destroy his work. He promises to explain it all if she follows a list of clues. As Hazel hunts for answers, she's helped and hindered by Isaac's dysfunctional family of mathematicians and by a mysterious corporation. Flanagan handles the action and range of characters with aplomb. A.C.S. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2018]
