This book, especially as it nears the end, is a bit far-fetched. In real life if upper-class Cornell students in the bucolic town of Ithaca, NY were dying, national law enforcement would be filling the town. And I saw through the narcoleptic faking her episodes right away. Even so, the book kept me turning pages. The author definitely kept my attention. It is a fast-paced mystery set in academia, and involves jealousies related to tenure, research and more. I recommend it for a fast, fun mystery.

When I first started this book, I found it a bit slow but as I read it, I was grabbed and taken along for the ride. Harper is an Iraq war vet and an assistant professor. Her husband has been injured in a roof fall and a student commits suicide in class and that is when the fun begins. I am not much of a mystery reader, but I really liked this one. I will have to read the other books in the series.

I liked it. It was a decent mystery, and it felt natural how the main character got pulled into the crime. The author didn't try too hard to force humour or anything else. I wasn't satisfied with the husband storyline; I thought that was made too much of. But a good read that was easy to finish.
