4.0 out of 5 stars Enter Homer Kelly, May 13 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Memorial Hall Murders (Paperback)
This is the book that launched Jane Langton's fame as a mystery writer. She has written much since that time, but I suspect this may be her best work. It has a light touch, a really interesting mystery, and a nice background of Harvardiana and classical music. The university setting is well done, which is unusual among "murder on the campus" books. Current Harvard students may be a bit puzzled (Memorial Hall was completely redone in the mid-'90's, years after this book was published). The plot is expertly constructed, and there is a strong sense of place and time, which allows the reader to care about the action and the characters. I give it 4 stars rather than 5 because I reserve 5 stars for something like The Hound of the Baskervilles.... This book is disappearing from library shelves, but there are still a lot of used copies about. Buy one now, before they are gone, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars hilarious, May 17 2001
By Jón Lárus Stefánsson "Hildigunnur" (Reykjavík, Iceland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Memorial Hall Murders (Paperback)
This book is one of my favourites. It combines my liking for mysteries and love of classical music. Homer and Mary Kelly assist some students at Harvard to find their lost and loved professor. We follow the rehearsing of Handel's Messiah, and I laughed out loud by the description of a characters tries to learn the music, playing the violin. (probably not as funny for non musicians though) Good book.
