My Thoughts
The books are enjoyable especially for those of us who understand the politics of the world of high education. Her characters are well developed and put in situation that that, that through no fault of their own feel the need to solve a murder. I like how Ms. Kuhn develops the characters and leaves us wanting to read the next in the series in order to see what will happen to the main character and her friends.
