Not particularly satisfactory murder mystery (with, by the way, a grossly misleading cover -- clearly the artist hadn't read the scene that inspired it). The setting itself is quite interesting, a college town in Maryland (the author herself lived in Maryland). One oddity is that the murder itself doesn't occur until the middle of the book, by which time we've been given a variety of possible motives and the various cast of characters. I'm afraid this is one of those least-likely solutions, together with evidence that's withheld or misinterpreted, and frankly, I think the whole title of the book itself is misleading. Not particularly recommended. ( )
