FEATURED REVIEW

A Rare Murder in Princeton by Ann Waldron

Ann Waldron's Princeton mysteries are fun, and this latest one is no exception. Mc Leod Dulaney is staying with her friend George in a "murder house" on this Princeton visit, as she continues her occasional teaching at the University. An understandably rare murder takes place in the Rare Book department of the Firestone Library, and of course Mc Leod investigates. By coincidence, she finds a suspicious treasure in an inauspicious box of costumes, and her room and office are burgled. Mc Leod's meals are described in detail, and references to familiar Princeton spots abound, from Wild Oats to Lahiere's. Interest sometimes flags as Mc Leod ponders information about each suspect, but the several mysteries are finally solved in a tidy and even surprising manner. Reviewed by Francesca B.
