Freshman Murders is a "Nerder Mystery," which means that the detectives who solve these crimes are nerds–brilliant individuals whose social skills may not equal their skills in mathematics, computers, and science.
On the terrified campus of Hurlesburg U., Mathematics Professor and former NSA problem-solver Josh Rosemont, finds a young woman’s body in the woods. He is paralyzed by her resemblance to his murdered daughter. As the murders continue, he is enraged into action by an obstructive Dean. Teaming with his cop-turned-anthropologist wife, Carmela, and his four genius grad students, he sets out to prevent another murder.
Blending every skill and trick of their professions, Rosy's team hounds a twisted trail of false clues to uncloak the Dean’s sex scandal, decipher incriminating evidence in a billion-dollar swindle, and thwart the serial killer–a deranged student who believes raping and killing a potential suicide is not really murder.
But did they catch the real killer?

There were enough clues to track so you could ALMOST figure the outcome.Good thing they were into math and computers, definitely need a better proofreader. Probably relied on "spell check"!

Freshman Murders eBook Gerald M Weinberg Reviews
Plot summary Josh Rosemont is a renown mathematical renaissance-man, former NSA problem-solver, and now a professor at a medium-sized state university. He and his student group of mathematic and computer students not only aid in cracking the codes used by a multi-million dollar international syndicate, but work on finding a serial killer who's been targeting freshman girls -- including one of the group members. His wife, an anthropology professor and former law enforcement officer, with a bit of a sex obsession, rounds out the private portion of the investigative team. Each of the cases becomes more complex as the group nears solving each.
All of this makes for a good mystery story, with lots of mathematical arcana to please the imagination of the science-leaning crowd. Most of the characters are a reasonably well rounded, with occasional ventures into unbelievability (e.g., a college dean monkeying with the admissions process to bring in less-qualified white students in place of more highly qualified black applicants). In other cases, the stereotypes and fads may reflect a dominant campus theme, but they irritatingly interfere with the story at times.
All said, I hope that this is the first in a series starring professor Rosemont and his Residual Class group.
The recipe for a compelling murder mystery is scarcely mysterious consummate hubristic villainy blended with dashes of fascinating characters of divers backgrounds and avocations, pinches of perplexing puzzles to solve, and slices of near total despair revived phoenix-like by daring ingenuity keener than a razor's edge. Gerald Weinberg's "Freshman Murders" delivers all of this and more in an artful concoction of corporate intrigue and homicidal mayhem set in the presumptively serene world of academe. The protagonist, mathematics Professor Josh Rosemont - already intensely engaged in assisting government prosecutors in decrypting the financial records of a nefarious corporation under an ever-looming trial deadline- becomes a reluctant detective in a set of gruesome murders perpetrated around the confines of Hurlesburg State University. Josh, however, although deftly wily and capable, is not a lone omniscient sleuth. He has the inestimable support of his loving wife Carmela, an anthropology professor and former police detective, as well as that of a multicultural collection of brilliant young researchers and students. As the plot unfolds, it is perfectly seasoned with both surprising suspects and nearly overwhelming obstacles and challenges to be overcome. From soup to nuts, "Freshman Murders" is one deliciously satisfying meal of a novel that, even to its very last bite, remains a thoroughly tasty treat with a curtain-closing line to be savored for many days after.
I encourage any and all to pick up "Freshman Murders" - a murder mystery meal from which you will find yourself leaving the table especially well sated.
Don't let the math scare you. Yes, the sleuth is a Mathematics professor, who leads a team of some of the best young minds in mathematics. And, yes, there are math jokes and even one young character signing the names of famous mathematicians. In fact the insight into that world and mindset adds greatly to The Freshman Murders.
From palindromes to linguistics to astrology to higher mathematics, the clues challenge the reader. They're considerably less challenging for genius professor, consultant and sleuth Josh Rosemont, although he and his cohorts still must try to jump from what the clues mean to what they might predict, as they struggle to bring down a corporate villain in a court case and to stop a murderer of freshman girls on their college campus.
The threads of these two cases and their investigations intertwine and loop and tangle. Like a set of Russian nesting dolls with layer after layer after layer of puzzles - what more could a mystery lover want? Unless it's an intriguing case of characters, led by Josh, his ex-cop-now-anthropology-professor wife Carmela and the international protégés they collect.
Great!
