Summary: Second Sally Good Is Better
Review: When Crider takes another stab at Hughes Community College, he hits his target again. Actually, when series sleuth Sally Good finds herself trying to solve another murder connected with the college in order to keep her colleague and "boyfriend"(?) Jack Neville out of prison, she almost lets him down. In the end, she saves the day again, and we get to see her as a pistol-packing English professor to boot.

This second outing with Dr. Sally Good is better than her first (Murder Is an Art), but I'm still waiting for the return of my favorite English professor/sleuth Carl Burns of Hartley-Gorman College. I do suspect that Good will get Better and Better with each new story.

Fans of Crider's writing will not be let down with his latest offering. It is filled with easy-to-read pages of his trademark humor and several likely suspects. If you're not yet hooked on Crider, Hughes Community College is a great place to start.
