• Murder in the Philosophy Department on June 14, 2011
  
  This is an excellent mystery of the Agatha Christie type: you get through a number of suspects with a motive. It is an entertaining read. The crime happens in the philosophy department of a third class college. It is good choice; the worst department of any run-down college is likely to be philosophy. The college is described with humor and a good eye for characters. The strength of the book is in the main character: it is a woman who does not like people very much, but she is likable because she is fair and always willing to help. "I liked people all right, but only in very small doses." says the hero, Professor Liza Ryder. I wish her many happy returns. She is more interesting than Miss Marple!

  There is a lot of talent here: this is a real author. For that reason, you should have a look at this: years from now you could say: "Oh! It is an author I discovered before everybody else." But right now, it is not a good book yet, just a good author. I do agree with the other reviewers so far (4 of them on librarything): the book needs a lot of revision. There are two very loosely related stories: one about a man who loses his girlfriend and tries to get on with his life. He meets another girl who disappears with all his stuff (including his potted plants: I like that detail!) The other story is about the discovery of an ancient skull and the trouble it causes to the hero. I think that the characters, specially the friends, could be more developed: we only recognize them by their names. And I may be a little dense, but I would understand everything so much better in 200 pages instead of 50. I need to know what happened to the girl who disappeared, because we are given to understand that it is something bad, but no explanation comes on. It could make a good detective story. The second story comes out as written very fast and there is a lack of precision about the science of bones - as compared for instance to the stories of Aaron Elkins who would be a direct competitor in terms of audience. I think that the book has more ambition than the "detective" style, it could be profound like the best Graham Greene, but for that, it needs to be longer and the poetical link between the two stories needs to be worked on. This being said, I enjoyed the trip.
