This is my first read in the Murder 101 series, and I liked it OK. Alison Bergeron is a professor married to a NYPD detective. Her struggles with her teenage stepdaughters, her husband's ex's crazy family, and the evil nuns where she teaches make up the bulk of the novel. This reminds me of a very East Coast attitude where people aren't particularly nice or polite to each other and are fairly uncharitable in their thoughts. That detracted for me, but the plotting was pretty good. I love this series and am concerned that this is her last book starring Professor Bergeron. On her website, she says that her next book is going to be totally different. I love Professor Bergeron, Max, Detective Crawford, and I love Trixie best of all. I will miss Trixie! I have rarely been so frightened that a series is ending. Her books have made me laugh and laugh. This is not a very intellectual review, but these are my feelings.
What do You think about Extra Credit (2012)?
First time I've read this author. I will be going back and reading all her books.
