review 1: I love Haddam's stories! This one is about a 91 year old woman who sure doesn't act 91 and the town she's lived in all her life. She's suing the school board over "Intelligent Design" and she's attacked. There's a whole lot more going on - a very conservative religious school, lots of small town politics, and a huge surprise ending. I really enjoy how Gregor Demarkian's mind works as he figures things out. Twisted through all this info are tales of Gregor and Bennis' wedding plans.
review 2: This was the fist (and only) book of Jane Haddam's that I've read. I generally don't jump into the middle of a series, but the subject matter (teaching of evolution vs. creationism) interested me so I read it. Unfortunately I didn't get much from the book. The charac... moreters seem to trot out the same tired arguments we hear on the subjects, without adding anything new to the equation. The mystery itself was interesting, but felt like it was wrapped up almost as an afterthought. I don't expect to continue reading this series of books. less
