 Pleasant people in a pleasant setting, with touches of gentle humor. Too bad there was a murder.

So wildly implausible it was funny. A nice little romp with great characters and so funny too. Loved Professor Svenson, he reminded me of Terry Pratchett's Archchancellor Ridcully of Unseen University. Must be a real-life type wandering about the academic wilds.

I read the Amazon Kindle book, and luckily I got it for 1.99 during a deal. It's so badly edited with misspellings and strange punctuations peppered all over the book. If that stuff drives you nuts, find another edition. I would hesitate to get another of this particular publisher's book.

Murder and pignapping at the agricultural college is more entertaining than you might think.

Second in Peter Shandy series. Also funny. Involves murder, student demonstrators, and a pignapping.
