Product Description
When the students in Winchester University’s Logic and Reasoning 204 arrive for their first day of class, they are greeted not with a syllabus or texts, but with a startling assignment from Professor Williams: Find a hypothetical missing girl named Polly. If after being given a series of clues and details the class has not found her before the end of the term in six weeks, she will be murdered.
At first the students are as intrigued by the premise of their puzzle as they are wary of the strange and slightly creepy Professor Williams. But as they delve deeper into the mystery, the boundary between the classroom and the real world is blurred and the students wonder if it is their own lives they are being asked to save.

Got it today - thanks for swapping for this book that's been on my wishlist since 2008.
A very intense novel that keeps you guessing, but I found myself becoming less and less interested in the characters as the story went on. I really can't put my finger on why I didn't care for them. It's almost as if there were too many twists and turns and reversals - you knew that there would be an unexpected resolution and yet it felt anticlimatic when it came. Too much build up I think.
Since all the books with the Valentine's exchange were a love/romance theme, I thought I'd sent a little variety your way. Please read or release as interests you. Thank you so much for your lovely package - it brightened a stressful week (oh, who am I kidding? the entire month has been crap)
I got this book in a RABCK from a thoughtful person.
