She is one of four children (she has a younger sister, a younger brother and an older sister who was adopted out in 1970, before Danielle was born). Danielle met her older sister for the first time as an adult. After her parents divorced, she lived for a brief time with her father. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison summa cum laude with a BA in History and English in 1996; and from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where she received an MFA in Fiction Writing in 2002.

I freely admit I didn't understand most of the puzzles and math addressed in this book, but fortunately, I didn't need to take a test, and the information was really necessary in order to enjoy the story.
Mike Brink was injured in a high school football accident which caused a very rare condition called acquired savant syndrome. He can solve puzzles and, after a stint at MIT, now has a lucrative career as a puzzle designer. He's called in to speak to a woman convicted of a gruesome murder who has a mysterious puzzle to solve.
It's a fascinating story in the mode of Dan Brown that leads the reader on a journey through computers, the Kabbalah, porcelain collector dolls, and other esoteric paths that merge into a complex but intricate and satisfying story. I really liked the protagonist and I hope to read more books about him.… (mer)

Beau début mais trop forcé sur l'ésotérisme de la religion juive.
I was intrigued by the mystery and the puzzle element to this book, as well as the relationship between the two main characters, Michael Brink and Jess Price. However, the story got very strange as it dove into the mad dreams of a man who had odd ideas, and would condone violent acts as part of his obsession. That part was just too strange for me.

I like stories with damaged characters and this one has it. I enjoy a well done conspiracy with its myriad webs and tangles. Employing the past and present can be a successful writing tactic if the writer pays careful attention to detail. The Puzzle Master has all this and yet while is channels a little of Dan Brown and a smidgeon of Helene Wecker in her book “The Golem and the Jinni” it falls short of satisfying. There were too many moving parts, too much esoterica, mixed in with too many others things like religious mysticism and arcane references. It mostly kept my attention and much of the books was a serious page turner but the places where I got bogged down stole the momentum. I felt my time was well spent but wished that Trussoni hadn’t felt the need to throw in the kitchen sink.
I am rounding up for a very inventive plot although at times jumbled and abused. Thanks to Random House and NetGalley for a copy.… (mer)
