THE SQUARE ROOT OF MURDER

The latest P.C. Hawke mystery finds high schooler P.C. and his partner in sleuthing, Mackenzie Riggs, enrolled in an advanced calculus class at Columbia. It's a killer, with a professor who ridicules anyone who shows confusion. And that would be everyone in the class! But when the professor is found impaled with a crossbow shaft, all P.C. and Mac's skills of deduction and mathematical expertise are called on to find the killer. Jeff Woodman's narration is outstanding as he becomes each character through voice and intonation. Math lovers will find their problem-solving skills challenged as they rush to beat P.C. and Mac to the mystery's solution. N.E.M.
