Let’s Get Criminal: An Academic Mystery

Título: Let's Get Criminal: An Academic Mystery

Autor: Lev Raphael

Sinopse: English professor Nick Hoffman is mightily suspicious when obnoxious Perry Cross, with whom he has to share his office, is hired in a nontenured position with a tenure-track salary (i.e., more than his). When (before the semester is over) Cross turns up dead and a leading suspect in what soon seems to be murder is Nick's life partner, Nick becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about Cross and his murderer. Interestingly enough for followers of Raphael's career, Nick's partner is Stefan Borowski, protagonist of Raphael's enthralling first novel, Winter Eyes (1992). That book may have had its mysteries--Stefan's discoveries of his Jewishness and his gayness--but it was not a murder mystery. This book may be a murder mystery, but it is more rewarding when regarded as a lengthy monologue by a protagonist-narrator, Nick, whom some will find annoyingly chatty and self-absorbed but others will consider delightfully loquacious, if a trifle batty. Consider it a mystery for those who don't especially like mysteries. Ray Olson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
