Completed the book 'Eight Detectives' by Alex Pavesi

It is essentially a book filled with 7 short mysteries with 'clues' or references made to one overarching mystery at the end. Certainly some twists here and there, a little gory with matured themes too.

What drew me to the book initially was how a mathematician could break down how a murder mystery is being constructed, using mathematical terms.

Each of his mystery showed the permutation that he came up with, using a venn diagram. According to him, a murder mystery has 4 important elements -suspects, killers, detectives, victims. you need at like 2 suspects. the permutations also consisted of the suspects being the killers, detectives being the killers, the suspect being the killer being the detectives and also the victims. Its quite confusing sometimes... also depicts my relationship with maths haha. 

I think it was an okay read, not the most nerve racking or a page turner.. but it definitely brought me back to reading.

that's all folks.
