Helpful Score: 1

"Murder in the Museum of Man" is a delight! If you know museum culture, or if you know an archivist, a curator, or anything about academia, or all of the above - you will love this book. It is authored by a former director of travel at Harvard's Museum of Natural History. A very tongue-in-the-cheek, hilarious, over the top, send-off of the museum world (particularly natural history museums). Highly recommended with the warning that the reader must like the arcane and not be too squeamish, as it is the Dean who has been murdered and eaten "quite expertly."
