ginnybeetle's review against another edition
4.5
Genuinely captivating. If you want a book you can devour in a weekend, but that is significantly more complex and engrossing than your average beach-read mystery, pick this up. The prose is refreshingly flavorful, the characters are fascinating, and the premise is solid.
shimmer's review
5.0
The author is a friend, I admit, but I genuinely enjoyed this novel. It's a great blend of small town rural noir crime and the campus novel — the tedium and frustration of academic administration takes on quite the sinister edge. It's impressive that Laura Ellen Scott's novels are each very different from one another, but in each of them her skill at developing characters complex enough to be engaging and (sometimes) sympathetic, yet odd enough to be compelling, stands out in all of them.
