A classic, though not complicated mystery (I did not solve it --prior to the solution being revealed--even though it was right there in front of my eyes).
Delightfully human (and sometimes hilarious) characters. A few malcontents you can love to hate, as well.
I have visited ND only once briefly, so I'm sure a few of the "in" jokes escaped me. I have enough Catholic friends and watch an occasional college football game, so much of the ND humor still was intelligible.
Incidentally, a serious look at some "ecumenical" religious topics.
A fun read that made me think a little, as well.
This is a very funny and interesting murder mystery that takes place at the U. of Notre Dame. There are a lot of "in-jokes" for those familiar with the ND campus and history.
