I enjoyed the fact that this was about a mystery writers' convention in the college town of Farberville, as well as the development of the relationship between bookseller Claire Malloy, the protagonist, and Detective Peter Rosen. The ending caught me a little off guard, but it was a good read! ( ) http://community.livejournal.com/50bookchallenge/5303723.html A Claire Malloy mystery novel set at a mystery writers convention. The ending was odd, and I don't want to be all spoilery, but I felt as though the protagonist was playing games with the reader, telling you one thing, but hiding information so that you wouldn't know what was really going on. Writers can hide information, but if the protagonist has an observation, she'd better not hide it from the reader. That's insulting. On the whole, since I had no expectations, the rest of the novel was good enough to carry me through the last 5 pages without really ruining the whole book.

Gehört zur ReiheClaire Malloy (13)
Farberville, Arkansas is playing host to its first ever mystery convention. Sponsored by the Thurber Farber Foundation and held at Farber College, Murder Comes to Campus is playing host to five major mystery writers representing all areas of the field. Dragooned into running the show when the original organizer is hospitalized, local bookseller Claire Malloy finds herself in the midst of a barely controlled disaster. Not only do each of the writers present their own set of idiosyncracies and difficulties (including one who arrives with her cat Wimple in tow), the feared, distrusted, and disliked mystery editor of Paradigm House, Roxanne Small, puts in a surprise appearance at the conference. Added to Claire's own love-life woes with local police detective Peter Rosen, things have never been worse. Then when one of the attendees dies in a suspicious car accident, Wimple the cat disappears from Claire's home, and Roxanne Small is nowhere to be found, it becomes evident that the murder mystery is more than a literary genre.
