I bought this book (along with a few other mysteries) with the bookstore gift certificates I got for Christmas from mr.jenny-lou-who! (I'm so spoiled!)

I don't know much about this book, but it looks like an interesting read. Perhaps I'm jaded because I've been a student for far too many years, but I love reading campus mysteries!

From the back cover: "When Richard Papen arrives at Hampden College in New England, he is quickly seduced by the rhythms of campus life - and in particular by an elite group of five students, Greek scholars, worldly, self-assured, and, at first glance, highly unapproachable. Yet as Richard is accepted and drawn into their inner circle, he learns a terrifying secret that binds them to one another: a secret about an incident in the woods in the dead of night when an ancient rite was brought to life."

I really liked this book, but found the ending a bit weak. (although, maybe I felt this way because the book didn't end how I wanted it to end...hmmm)

Release planned for Thursday, March 11, 2004 at University of Manitoba in winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.

I'll be attending a conference at the University and will release this book somewhere on campus this week. Sorry...wish I could be more specific, but I am not familiar with the U of M campus.

[update: I left the book on a bench in St. John's College around 8:30am on Saturday, March 13th.]
