Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. murder by lye on isolated campus https://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2955687.html I must say this worked very well - a campus mystery, where the traditionally low stakes of academic politics have escalated to murder. The mystery is carefully laid out and worked through. I did raise an eyebrow at the sexual politics of the student lifestyle, which seemed to me closer to the 1950s than the 1990s when the book is set, but perhaps I don't know enough about Pennsylvania. Anyway, the best Haddam I've read so far. Father Tibor Kasparian has taken a temporary teaching assignment on a college campus. He becomes aware that all is not well and calls upon his friend, Gregor Demarkian, and ex-FBI agent, to come visit and speak at the campus. It isn't long before Gregor is called upon to unravel a crime and catch the criminal. I enjoyed this book, but not overwhelmingly. I never could get a handle on the main characters surrounding Gregor Demarkian, or even Gregor. It felt as if we were expected to have read the previous books. The other characters, the suspects, were drawn very well. The author took pains to show us the inner workings of each one. The crime and setting were also well done. I would certainly read more in this series if they came my way. Oh, forgot to say, the events take place over the three days before Halloween, and Halloween itself. I enjoyed reading my first Gregor Demarkian mystery. I was really surprised by the ending, its storyline was well thought out and written, the characters were realistic and could really be found on a camus at a small town college. Father Tibor was enchanting as was Bennis. I hope to get the rest of the books in this series. I would recommend this to one and all. ***I received this book in exchange for an honest review*** nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieGregor Demarkian (4)
As college students get dressed up for Halloween, ex-FBI agent Gregor Demarkian must catch a real campus ghoul before another faculty member is murdered. Since Father Tibor Kasparian escaped the Soviet Union, he has done his best to keep his philosophy to himself--not out of fear, but because he knows that few people could stomach an honest account of life under Stalinism. When he gets an invitation to spend a semester teaching philosophy at Independence College, Kasparian hesitates, but his friend Gregor Demarkian, a former FBI investigator, convinces him to accept. They will both wish he had decided to stay away. At Independence, Halloween is the biggest party of the year--it's also the anniversary of the day that the school's colonial founders pledged themselves to the American Revolution. As the students prepare to burn an effigy of King George, the hated professor Donegal Steele vanishes, and his secretary turns up dead. To keep his old friend from becoming the next victim, Demarkian will have to do his homework. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
