He/Him. A wandering Spanish physicist who reads too much of everything that is not related to my work. I enjoy reading books (mostly #SciFi, #fantasy or #mystery), comics (mainly #EuropeanBD but I just devour anything that looks interesting to me) and from time to time #TTRPG manuals, #nonfiction (#physics and #anarchism) and whatever else I find that might be cool. Glad to join Bookwyrm and I'm loooking forward to see what everyone is reading!

Once again, Guy Delisle has brought us a very interesting read, with very good pacing and showcasing not only Edweard Muybridge's life but also how his photographies and discoveries impacted other fields.

When I picked up this novel as "documentation" for a locked room mystery TTRPG that I am (very slowly) developing, I definitely didn´t know that it was going to be so fitting to it and that it was going to provide me with a mathematical ruleset for designing murder mysteries.
All in all, this is a collection of several stories, with an overarching theme and a plot that links the whole story. The general idea revolves around providing a mathematical definition for a murder mystery and the possible permutations within it.
This has been the happiest I've been studying a mathematical definition ever (and, as a physicist I've had my more than fair share of theorems, definitions and other mathematical fauna to study) and it has been a joyful ride, at least for me (unlike for the characters involved). I highly recommend it and I am looking forward to further …
