Product Description

As if Joe Barley doesn't have enough on his mind. His job as a part-time instructor at Hambleton College is likely to be eliminated, and his partner, Carole, is expecting their first child. He's also been assigned to find the identity of a mole in the English Department who is part of a nasty and embarrassing letterwriting exchange in a student newspaper. But the stresses of his job and personal life are compounded by the disappearance of a member of the Hambleton faculty, and Joe begins to hear rumours that the teacher was involved with a drug ring run by the Russian mob. The long-awaited third installment in the Joe Barley Mysteries series, A Likely Story showcases the biting humour, engrossing storytelling, and keen eye for the ordinary that have made Eric Wright one of the most beloved crime writers in Canada.

This review is from: A Likely Story (Paperback)

A Likely Story is the third of the Joe Barley series and uses the similar three mysteries to solve formula. However, Wright does not allow the reader the enjoyment of a fair chance at solving the mysteries. Also, some of the dialogue looks like it was glossed over by an editor who placed far too much faith in Wright. Fortunately, the odd relationship between Joe and Carole made the pages worth turning.
