Özet

Professor Emily Cavanaugh makes a horrific discovery while writing her book on Dostoevsky in the entertaining fourth Crime with the Classics story.

Professor Emily Cavanaugh has left Windy Corner behind and is back at Bede College on her sabbatical, determined to finish writing her book on Dostoevsky. She is soon reunited with one of her promising students, Daniel Razumov, as well as familiar faces on the teaching staff - her friend, Marguerite Grenier; her half-brother, Oscar Lansing; the abrasive division chair, Richard McClintock; and the predatory Taylor Curzon, known for her relentless pursuit of young male students - and Taylor now has Daniel firmly in her sights.

Emily knows Taylor must be stopped, but as she starts gathering evidence of Daniel’s harassment, she has a disturbing flashback, and then makes a gruesome discovery.... Can Emily catch a dangerous campus killer while also confronting events from her own past?

Story could be sharper, at times just too fantastic. Very light entertainment, increased speed of delivery, which helped.

overall pretty good for cozy crime
the constant reference to God and faith became tiresome

Good in parts

I enjoy this author and the who dunnit part is the story was good. The characters are well drawn and engaging and it is well written. But! And it is a big but. It is preachy, I get that the main character (and I expect the author) is a believer but to relate pretty well all of hers thoughts back her religion is annoying.

Good story - too much religion

I enjoyed the narration. But I found Emily an annoying character. Judgemental and lacking in any compassion for the victim. I understand her meddling helped solve the case, but why on earth did the police allow her to get so involved with in the first place.

Annoyed by main character

Let’s see, the half Russian girl has blonde hair and is called Svetlana - such a large country with so many names but no, Svetlana. The girlfriend of the half brother is Asian, which part of Asia? No idea, could be Thai, could be Japanese, Chinese, Korean…a whole host of countries, apparently apparently it doesn’t matter, and she looks delicate (but lively). At chapter 4 we’ve met at least two sexual predators, the female one is an atheist who considers religious icons to be pieces of beautiful artwork not interfaces with Divinity (how terribly evil of her, just to double down on the stereotype).

And if you don’t come from a religious country like the USA you might find the assumption of Christianity a bit in your face.

At Chapter four nothing has happened yet, except that the evil female atheist predator has shown her interest in a sullen student and his girlfriend (Svetlana, who moves like a dancer, and wants to be a ballerina…because of course her mother was a Russian ballerina (?!?!), but her father wants her to be a lawyer) shares the same brand of religion as the main character and is blonde (Medieval European princess needing rescuing vibes crossed with angels? All the princesses were blonde anyway) and has asked the main character for help.

Way too many stereotypes for me. Too much assumption of Christianity as being THE WAY well of course. But it may be fine for you - the main character does not have email, so it must be relatively old, no university professor would be able to get away with that from some time ago.

Not aging well, ok if you like this sort of thing
