I have a small obsession with the free and inexpensive books Amazon offers through the Kindle. I have about 60+ books on mine right now just waiting to be read. The Witch of Agnesi is one of those books I recently finished.
My biggest issue with this book is that it says it is for Grade 10 and up, so it is considered "young adult".I, personally, am not sure teenagers would be interesting in reading a book where Bonnie, the main character, is in her 50s. That being said, I myself really enjoyed reading it. First we meet Bonnie, a sarcastic math teacher who also mentors a small group of the smartest students who take part in an annual "Knowledge Bowl". At this event the story takes a turn when the smartest kid in school goes missing. From there, it's a roller coaster while Bonnie, her new love interest Armen, and the police try to find out where the student went and who is responsible as other students end up dead.
This is one book I actually found myself drawn into. It's a who-dun-it that kept me guessing until the very end of the book. I'm not sure I would buy the other books in the series, but I would definitely recommend the first of the Bonnie Pinkwater series to anyone who enjoys a quick mystery to read.
Ultimately, I'd rate this 4/5 Stars
