Review
"A nice writing style and considerable wit."
--Chicago Tribune
"Valerie Wolzien is a consummate crime writer. Her heroines sparkle as they sift through clues and stir up evidence in the darker, deadly side of suburbia."
--MARY DAHEIM
"Wit is Wolzien's strong suit. . . . Her portrayal of small-town life will prompt those of us in similar situations to agree that we too have been there and done that."

BAD CHEMISTRY
Like many fiftysomething housewives facing empty nests, Susan Henshaw decides that returning to college will give her life new meaning. But a murdered lab partner isn't what she had in mind--especially since the victim was strangled with the straps of Susan's own backpack.
So when Susan is named the prime suspect, she fits an investigation into her extracurricular activities. But after a strange student ominously named "Jinx" becomes her informant, Susan begins to wonder: What does she really know about the victim, academic politics, or even her newfound friends? One thing is certain--finding answers to this test could cost Susan her life. . . .

Susan Goes Back to College,
By
Ce commentaire est de: The Student Body (Mass Market Paperback)
Susan Henshaw decides to go back to college after her children leave home. She is nervous about the prospect of returning to the academic life and trying to relate to 18-22-year-olds. She goes through the usual pangs of attending class and taking tests, but the real problems begin when her lab partner is murdered with Susan's backpack. Of course, suspicion centers on Susan, so she has to investigate the murder in self defense. She discovers that the murder victim had meddled in many people's lives and that several people might have a motive to murder her. Her semester of work parallels her investigation, and as finals approach, Susan zeroes in on the murderer. This book is recommended reading for "cozy" fans.

SUSAN HENSHAW GETS AN A IN MURDER,
Ce commentaire est de: The Student Body (Mass Market Paperback)
When Susan Henshaw suburban mom goes back to school, she finds murder instead.Every Valerie Wolzien novel is fun to read and the plots easy to follow. For long time fans the addition of two new characters will be something to cheer for. New readers to the series will want to go back to the beginning and follow Susan through her adventures from PTA soccer mom to Mother of the Bride and now college student.

Another Winner,
By Teri Courter (Houston, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: The Student Body (Mass Market Paperback)
I could not wait for this new Susan Henshaw mystery to be released and was not at all disappointed. Susan seems like a dear friend of mine and her experiences going back to school were very believable and endearing. I was also suprised at the final conclusion to the murder solving. Once again Valerie Wolzien came through. I can't wait for the next one!
