I finished it about a week ago, and it's a ball! (For those who don't know, it's a contemporary murder mystery into which Dobson weaves ED in a delightful way.) Characters are memorable, the academic settings, intrigues, and tenure anxieties are right on. Dobson has learned how to write mystery. Her central character, Dr. Karen Pelletier, is a new kind detective/academic literary researcher. I hope Dobson can figure out a way to use Pelletier again. I haven't read much of Dobson's scholarly work (only a book review in the EDIS Journal), but I'll be repairing that deficiency soon. Along with many others, I glad to join emwebbers again.
