Book itself was good—plot etc. But as a recently retired professor who has served on many tenure committees, the insights into the agonies and politics of tenure deliberations was particularly intriguing.
Academic misadventures A murder in academia and a professor who solves crimes. Mildly Interesting if you are an educator or serve on committees. Mar 08, Lynn rated it liked it.
Interesting plots - the murder mystery and then the side mystery of her friend's new man. Characters were likeable, and family relationships were true to life. This is a short book so nothing was developed very deeply or thoroughly - but that was okay, it made it a nice 'light read'. I especially enjoyed the excerpts from 'the Contract' at the beginning of each chapter. Not only did they give insight into academic faculty workings and expectations, but they related well to the plot. I will read mo Interesting plots - the murder mystery and then the side mystery of her friend's new man.
I will read more by this author. Jul 16, Teressa rated it it was amazing Shelves: It was fun and easy to listen to. The story revolves around the main character of Susan Lombardi who after seven years received tenure at Metropolitan University where she is asked to become a member of the department evaluating committee.
There are many fun and interesting characters in the story including Abby who currently has tenure and in the end remains in tenure. Everyone on the committee including and especially Nannette wants Abby out and will stop at nothing to rid her of the position. There is much political squabbling and deception taking place and also a group of radical students who decide to go on a hunger strike.
I like how the book begins with Susan having a sign taped on the front of her computer saying "Tenured means never having to say yes, I'll serve on that committee". Another fun character in this story is her best friend Elaine and her boyfriend Jon Henninger who is an author but Elaine is unable to find any of the books he's written and suspects he writes under a pen name so she has him investigated by a detective friend of Susans named Mark Golden or Private Dick as she sometimes refers to him. What he learns is interesting. And Swash, Susan's husband whose Aunt Rose has died reunites with his family.
They are jealous of his past inheritance and are always bickering back and forth but then decide it's time to get together and become closer as a family. This book was just overall a fun listen. I had no idea throughout how this story was going to end. Great job by the author Carole B. Also I can't even begin to say what a terrific job Barbara Benjamin-Creel did with the character's voices. She has fantastic voice characterization and I loved her accents. She also kept the story at a perfect pace. I look forward to listening to more from both her and the author.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great mystery thriller. Death by Committee is another good cozy mystery written by Carole B. Like the first book, the story centers on Susan Lombardi who is an education professor at a Connecticut university.
Shortly after earning tenure, she is asked to join a committee to make a decision about whether to grant tenure to a controversial faculty member. Shortly thereafter one member of the tenure committee is killed and another one is severely injured in a suspicious fire. The same supporting cast of character Death by Committee is another good cozy mystery written by Carole B. With their help, Susan solves the murder and arson fire quicker than the police. Under the pseudonym Carroll Thomas, she is the co-author of the Matty Trescott young adult novels, one of which Ring Out Wild Bells was nominated for the Agatha for best young adult mystery of Her non-fiction book, Voices of Hope: She lives in Farmington CT with her husband Steve.
