"On a sweltering summer night, a woman dies mysteriously in her hospital bed in New York City. A thousand miles away, amateur sleuth and Midwestern University professor Beth Austin prepares for a class on "The Mystery of Edwin Drood", when her mother drops a bombshell: Fifty years ago, she was involved in a similar Dickensian love triangle and unsolved murder at the University of Chicago."

Enjoy the book - it's a good summer read.

found on the West Platt Bench. I will likely at least skim this book at some point.

just finished this book - a quick and easy read. Overall, I have to say that I was a little disappointed with the story. It is very hard to form any sort of emotional connection to the characters and, while the plot dabbles in realism, it is too over-the-top to actually occur. Still, as a mystery, it does keep the reader guessing right up until the end.
