Physical Education (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

This is the second of the Dr. Allison Bergeron mysteries I have read. They are light and fairly meaty but this one was too enigmatic to be totally enjoyable. She spent too much time trying to figure out what her police-detective husband was doing, and Barberi didn't give the reader enough to chew on. If she had just stuck with Allison and her side of the story, all would have been terrific, but her wondering about Bobby and never giving us a clue was frustrating, to say the least. Allison is an English professor at St. Thomas, a small Catholic college at the edge of the Bronx, and in this novel, she crazily finds herself coaching the women's basketball team in addition to her other duties. Mix in a little bit of the Mob, an underhanded priest, a loveable blind elderly nun, and twin stepdaughters, and there really is a good book here. I plan to read the series just for fun - not for great literature, mind you. Love this type of book to clear the trouble of the day away. I've been wanting to read this for months. Unfortunately, finances dictating everything forced me to wait until I could get it from the library.There was so much going on I had to force myself to concentrate, especially at the end, just so I could play along with the resolution to both the dead body and Father Kevin's problem. I was a bit disappointed in the end when the who, what, where, when, how and why were summed up as if I didn't invest a few hours reading the whole book.

Not my favorite of her books that I've read so far.
