Triple Cross First Kate Fansler Mysteries: In the last Analysis, The James Joyce Murder and Poetic Justice
In this third novel in my Kate Fansler mystery series we find our heroine involve in the students revolution of the late 60's early 70's in universities and colleges around the USA. This plot focuses on the struggle of the Adult College to stay open and the relevance of the poetry of W.H. Auden. A thin plot but written with style. Cross' novels are rarely up beat, action driven plot. Here we have more a study of characters and motivation culminating in the reveal of the culprit but like an afterthought. Still interesting but less powerful than the first two novels.
