"I start with zero. Nobody dies today."

The strange note was just the beginning. Soon Howard County, Maryland Detective Lieutenant Rick Peller is pursuing a killer basing murders on the Fibonacci series, a mathematical sequence in which each number is the sum of the preceding two. And all Peller knows for sure is that the series never ends.

This story started strong, and with the multiple points of view and the focus on the cops working this case, it reminded me a bit of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series.
As other reviewers have already pointed out, the ending felt a bit abrupt - personally, I would have liked to learn more about the motive, the specifics of the pattern each of the victims fit. Plus, as has also been pointed out by others, one of the supposedly smartest people we meet in this story does something absolutely stupid - and not even his wife tries to dissuade him from his harebrained scheme?

Overall, I'd rate this story 3.5/5 stars.

That being said, I enjoyed getting to know Peller and his colleagues, and I'd like to read more stories in the series.
