3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, but not the best, Dec 12 2001
By Moe811 (New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poetic Justice (Mass Market Paperback)
This novel is set during the turbulent student uprisings. Kate is charged with saving the University College, sort of like NYU's New School, primarily for adults returning to finish their education. The powers that be do not want the school to continue, the reasons are not clear. The leader of the movement is Professor Cudlipp, a stereotypical academic snob, he appears in all of these novels in one form or another. Predictably, he is murdered and Kate and Reed are bound to find out the truth.

I usually enjoy these academic mysteries, but this one is just too dated for my taste. The radicals of this time were the repressed conservative professors of my time, and this mystery doesn't age as well as her others. The writing and mystery are still fine, but the setting is old fashioned, but not enough to be historical or quaint yet.
