Yes, it's a cozy...why dump on it just because you hate seven sisters schools?

Oh la la la. I went to a school in Virginia which fancied itself a "seven-sisters-of-the-south." This mystery is quite true to the genre. If you really can't consider people named "Pudgie" as real individuals, then pass on by...but if they seem like human beings to you, then perhaps you should read this. It's kinda fun. Yes, the original frame-up is pretty obvious -- but who hasn't known totally oblivious people, much less cops? Perhaps even oblivious reviewers? Hm. This mystery is totally worth it for the lobotomy scene. If you were on the table slated for a lobotomy, how would you get out of it? Maggie does pretty well. If in doubt, seek refuge at the President's house...once you have managed to get off the table, find something to wear, and escape the hospital. OK, it's not likely in real life. But why the hell do we read this stuff? It's FUN and it's over the top. Besides, there are good sex scenes. RAH!
