Title: Pleasant Diversion, but Not Much More
Product review: Jeffrey Cruikshank is a good writer, but in the end I found MURDER AT THE B-SCHOOL to be rather flat. My major problem with the novel is the rather bland characterization. In particular, I found the lead character, Professor Wim Vermeer, to be a remarkably colorless individual. I also found the plot somewhat slow-moving, with very little suspense until the last 50 or so pages.Also, I would not buy this novel if you're interested in the Harvard Business School and its inner workings. This book actually has very little to do with the school or business in general. It is instead a straighforward whodunit that happens to take place at Harvard. Most of the action in this novel takes place off-campus.In the end, I can't recommend this book because I think there are far superior mysteries out there. In particular, I recommend the work of William Kent Krueger, Jacqueline Winspear, and Michael Connelly.
