Another enjoyable St. Just story

Another St. Just - a perfect companion and enjoyable read. It certainly does the job. We have read all three so far and hope that this 'Agatha' winner will write more. Characters are thoroughly illuminated and the details of Cambridge and the rowing ethos are remarkable.

BRAVO!

One of the best "Who Dunnits" I've read to date; I could hardly put this book down. Don't understand how someone could NOT get into this one! I can't wait till her next book comes out. Ms. Malliet has done it again! Dale S

Save the price of a ticket to England

GM Malliet takes you there...Well conceived plot and dénouement...You can visualize many characters from their names....Betcha can't put it down !

Death at the Alma Mater

The best in the series. I could not put it down! Tightly woven plot leads the reader to ever increasing complex characters with suspect motives. A psychological thriller.

Just gotta love it

I am pleased to see another of the St. Just mysteries. The characters, especially St. Just and Portia, leave me only enough information about their personal lives to keep me coming back for more of Just's episodes. Malliet's use of a device to 'hold back' certain elements of her characters serves to heighten the suspense that is systemically built into any really good mystery novel....it's sort of a mystery within a mystery, and allows her writings to appeal to a broader group of readers than those who would normally read for 'mystery'. Granted she has her many subplots usually required in this genre, but the added subtle yet ongoing appearances of romance add a delightful flavor and 'upnote' to these wonderful stories. I hope Malliet will keep them coming!
