Product Description

"If by some cruel oversight you haven't discovered Amanda Cross, you have an uncommon pleasure in store for you."
THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
When Clare College's resident eccentric Patrice Umphelby is found drowned in the campus lake, it's called a suicide. But the college president grows suspicious and calls in noted professor/detective Kate Fansler to research the matter. Ingratiating herself with her academic colleagues to learn more about Patrice's life, Kate digs up the evidence she needs to understand her death....


From the Paperback edition.


Ingram

Kate Fansler was among those puzzled by her death, and her instincts led her to investigate. "Another splendid whodunit."--Susan Isaacs, author of Shining Through. HC: Dutton. --Ce texte provient de la Mass Market Paperback édition.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A different view of middle age, Jui 20 2004
Par Mary E. Sibley (Carneys Point, NJ USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Kate Fansler attended the memorial service for Patrice Umphelby, a professor at Clare College. At the time she did not think that she knew Patrice but later she learned from Patrices's biographers Herbert and Archer that she had met her once in Scotland.

Kate is someone who evades memories. Her husband Reed works in the office of the DA notwithstanding the fact that most people over forty pursue other legal careers. By the end of the book it is learned that Reed plans to begin teaching at Columbia Law School.

Kate is asked by the president of Clare College to serve on a board of advisors for an institute being set up by her friend Madeline, a psychoanalyst, and to investigate the death of Patrice. Patrice wrote in a journal that the human mind has trouble taking in aging.

Madeline is of the opinion that Patrice was appreciated insufficiently at Clare College. She was eccentric but sane. Clare College it is charged was not receptive to the unorthodox. Indeed, foul play is uncovered by Kate Fansler evidencing professional jealousy and a different view of middle age. The book is a nearly perfect mystery story. The views of the issues and the personalities are expressed in interesting and cogent language.

I have read most of the series. This was interesting but not her best.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Interesting but not very mysterious, Oct. 8 2001
This is the first Amanda Cross mystery I've read. I did enjoy it, but I must agree with the previous reviewer, who said that it was a good book but not much of a whodunit. The mystery really takes a back seat to literary discussions and character analyses. (And the ending, while fun, emerges out of the blue.) I also found that, especially towards the middle and end of the book, the characters all tended to speak in a mannered way that I found slightly improbable-- as though they're all declaiming instead of just talking.

I picked the book up because it dealt with a women's college; as a student at a women's college, I'm always curious to see how they're treated in literature. I found Cross' view interesting, although nothing like my own.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Witty, but poorly constructed
If you read this book as a series of witty conversations about age, women's colleges, lit crit, etc, it's a lot of fun. As a mystery, however, it is a complete failure. Read more
