Exposing and pushing back against the girl-sleuth conventions makes this series both familiar and quirky. Robbins reveals just enough about her heroine's life to make her appealing while leaving enough unresolved to whet the appetite for a follow-up.
Robbins is in a class of her own with this thoroughly engrossing, occasionally funny, wry examination of the world of teaching, students, and the special challenges of solving a murder. Very highly recommended as an exceptional stand-out powered not just by its mystery, but by a psychological atmosphere that brings characters and setting to life to keep its action fast-paced and vivid.
