Jane M. reviewed on 3/7/2013 + 65 more book reviews

I consider this to be an exceptionally well-written first mystery. Dobson has draw superb characters and even if you guess the "who" in whodunit, a reader is unlikely to anticipate all the other things the author has in store. If you've ever spent so much as a semester at a private college, the characters will remind you of people you know. Dobson's observations about class consciousness and academic snobbery added yet another dimension to the novel. A blurb from Publisher's Weekly on the paperback I read notes the author's "wit and insight." I concur and am off to request the second book in this series.
