5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful satire and pretty good mystery.,
By
This review is from: School for Murder (Paperback)
Robert Barnard is that rarity: one who writes mystery novels that may be better as novels than as mysteries.This is an example of his early style: elegant, witty, epigrammatic, but extremely insightful. I taught in a private school very much like the one described in this book, and Barnard's picture is dazzling in its accuracy and devastating in its satire. His command of personalities and politics and teacher/student relations is perfect. Recommended for any lover of good writing, bad schools, and great mysteries.

Pitch Perfect,
This review is from: School for Murder (Paperback)
It is difficult to choose among Barnard's books (they are all extremely well-written, literate entertainment), but this is one of the funniest. His gift for deft characterization is on full display here.
