As the elder generation of great American crime novelists gives up the ghost, or retires from the scene (any chance you have another Matt Scudder novel in you, Lawrence Block?), Michael Harvey gives aficionados of the form some hope. This is a first-rate, stone whodunit, destined, I would hope, to become a classic of the genre. Very highly recommended.

I really enjoy Michael Harvey's mysteries. Although this isn't a part of the Michael Kelly series, he makes an appearance. (

Some of the plot was a bit convoluted but the premise was interesting. (

Northwestern University has class for solving old cases. Three students decide on a case. Each student has baggage. The Professor has baggage. This leads them down circuitous path. Unusual but interesting. (

A book set at the McGill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and in and around Chicago will always fascinate me. I love reading books when one is so familiar with the area you are reading about. Just makes it so much easier to visualize the story. In this book Harvey takes three college grad students and embroils them in a case that features a murderer, cover-ups, dirty cops and others. There were a few surprises, and times one has to suspend belief and logic but it was entertaining and the action and story line moved relatively quick. (
