3.4.2018 - The Last Equation of Isaac Severy

The Last Equation of Isaac Severy: A Novel in Clues

Many thanks to NetGalley, Touchstone, and Nova Jacobs for the opportunity to read and review her debut novel - I loved it!  What's not to love - mathematical and literary mysteries and clues and quirky characters.

Hazel is the owner of a small bookstore in Seattle.  She's drowning in debt, living secretly in the back of the store, unsure of her boyfriend's affection.  When she receives word that her adopted grandfather has committed suicide, she leaves for LA and her complicated math genius family.  She then receives a letter that her grandfather wrote to her before his death, entrusting her with finding his final equation - one that he alludes others are looking for with dire consequences.  He tells her to trust no one.  But she feels out of her element in finding and understanding the clues and the formula.  This hunt forces her back into her fractured family and all their issues.

I couldn't put this book down and really loved the ending!  Amazing debut novel - can't wait to read more from this author!
