Table of contents

I was, therefore, wary when I picked up The Oxford Murders. It's a crime novel, set in a place I am fairly familiar with, with a plotline and characters heavily involved in the world of academic mathematics. I have lived on the outskirts of this world for the past 12 years, and in that time I have come across countless examples, in book and film, of sloppy, meaningless and invented mathematics - or mathematicians for that matter - used in a story simply because the author believes it adds some degree of intellectual cachet.

The Oxford Murders (2010)

He obviously enjoys his subject, and is able to use his characters to explain some tricky mathematical and philosophical concepts to his reader with an ease and clarity which shows he has a gift for communication. The story is narrated by a 22 year old Argentinian maths postdoc who arrives in Oxford for a year-long research post. Within two weeks of settling in, he discovers the murdered body of his landlady and also meets Arthur Seldom, a mathematical genius and one of the leading experts on logical systems.

Seldom has received a note from the murderer which simply states: "the first of the series", followed by a drawing of a circle, and it is obvious that the killer is familiar with his work. The two mathematicians find themselves drawn into the killer's game as they try to predict which symbol will be next in the series - another symbol appears each time the killer strikes.

But, although the mathematical elements are dealt with successfully, the novel does have some flaws. Hurt is enjoyable as the scornful, puffed-up professor and a wide-eyed, worried-looking Wood conveys a beguiling mix of innocence and obsession. Perhaps de la Iglesia believes this winning combination is enough to instantly arouse the passions of both female leads but the viewer won't.

And this is a crucial failing in a film where so much depends on the sexual energy Martin supposedly unleashes. Ultimately though, despite references to Agatha Christie and Hitchcock, the film fails as a classic whodunnit. De la Iglesia may have ambitiously set out to explore the criminal mind, logic, and the nature of truth, but it all adds up to little more than murder by numbers.
