This was intriguing and well written and, well translated. Translated novels can sometimes have a slightly stilted air to them but this didn't. Martinez is a mathematician and the novel has a somewhat complex element to it at times as formulas and mathematical logic is brought into play but this murder mystery, based on the real life mystery of a missing page in Lewis Carroll's diaries and abrupt ending of relations with the Liddell family, whose daughter, Alice, was immortalised in Alice in Wonderland, kept you guessing at every page turn.
