I respectfully disagree with the reviewer who wrote "Her understanding of how academic titles, promotions and tenure work is embarrassingly wrong . . ." Ms. Maron is quite well known for her unrelenting research in her books and considering the fact that her husband was a university professor for many years I venture to say she was right on the money in this book as she is in her others. Also, as one who has also worked...

A pleasant short cozy read. Her understanding of how academic titles, promotions and tenure work is embarrassingly wrong, and you'll just have to grit your teeth and imagine she's writing about a university in another country to make the plot work. Didn't she or her editor talk to a single academic to check this stuff out?

I've read 5 of Margaret Maron's books so far, and this rates up there with The Bootlegger's Daughter
