A clever plot with several diversions.
Owen Hall is a big man but is socially awkward and has few friends. He believes in the power of numbers - prime numbers are bad but numbers which have factors of 3 and 5 are good. He was bullied at school by Callum Green who is now a rich businessman and married to Owen's only friend, Abi. When Callum is found dead in his car, there are several suspects from both his business and private lives.
The reader believes he learns who the murderer is fairly early on in the story but the tension is maintained until the very end as the police struggle to find the required proof for a conviction.
There are some lovely characters and dialogue which made me laugh at loud particularly Callum's father, Phil, an ex policeman and his partner, Anna, who provide security at the local shopping centre.
