4.0 out of 5 stars Fun academic type mystery, Dec 6 2002
By Moe811 (New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death in a Hot Flash (Mass Market Paperback)
Bel Barret teaches writing at a community college in NJ. Her friend Vinny Vallone talks her into teaching a class of funeral director wannabes with him. Vinnie is murdered and it seems that most of the suspects are in the writing class. Bel risks her relationships and her life to solve the mystery.

This was a pretty quick read and I enjoyed it. The characters and the setting are quirky and interesting. A good series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining series, April 13 2002
By Nancy Sapir (kingston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Death in a Hot Flash (Mass Market Paperback)
Professor Bel Barrett is a nice woman and so are her friends, her children, and her mother whose brain cells just needed a slight realignment. Jane Isenberg perfectly captures the multi-cultural ambiance of a community college and the dedication of those who teach there. The mysteries in this series are solid and fun. Bel is obviously enduring the joys of menopause and her references to it throughout will strike a chord with the similarly afflicted. The grimy setting of Jersey City, New Jersey is not ideal, but Isenberg almost makes the place sound appealing. I even like the author's photo on the back page. Like I imagine Bel to look, Isenberg has the kind of face you want to see on your friends-kind, bright, and smiling. The series is a fun way to pass a rainy weekend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring, Oct 27 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Death in a Hot Flash (Mass Market Paperback)
Another author that fills the pages with inane conversations because the book is so lacking in a good plot.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great New Series! -- For women facing "change"
I think this is a heroine for our times! This is not one of those young, pouty-lipped, long-legged, blondes with whom every other male character falls in love. Read more
