Review of Death at the Alma Mater

Death at the Alma Mater (A St. Just Mystery #3)Death at the Alma Mater by G.M. Malliet
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(For the Audio Book version)
Pales in comparison to Malliet's other novels.

This was an okay listen. It's well narrated, and the characters are fun, like Malliet's other St. Just novels. However - this one really left me feeling flat. It seems to get tied up too quickly, without really having left proper clues. It's as though the author got tired of writing and said, "well, I'll just make this character be the culprit". The characters also were not as well developed as in some other books by this author.

Like I said, it was ok, but if you haven't read G.M. Malliet before, I'd suggest Death of a Cozy Writer (St. Just) or Wicked Autumn (a Max Tudor mystery).
