About book Shadows On The Ivy (2004)

This is sort of a hit-or-miss series. I find it hard to believe that a two-year community college would have dormitories. But what do I know? Maybe the one I went to was just an anomaly. Wait has a knack of making all of her characters likeable, even the villain. I especially enjoyed the portrayal of Kendall, the only single dad at Whitcomb, as being such a devoted father to his 13-month-old Josette. The plot was rather sketchy, and Maggie made a couple of leaps without taking the reader along for the ride, but taken as a whole, it wasn’t that bad. I could have done without the pages of lecture notes on antiques, however.

I listened to this as an audio book. I did enjoy it. The only problem that I found was that the author spent more time than necessary relating the content of some of the main character's lectures. The content of those really didn't have anything to do with the story. If this were a paper book I would have just skipped over those pages, but being audio- I listened. I thought that the plot was interesting and I wasn't really sure who the culprit was until that person was unveiled. I always enjoy a book in which i cannot guess "whodunnit."

Do You like book Shadows On The Ivy (2004)?

Like a Jane Langton mystery, this book is an intellectual's mystery, packed with facts regarding Currier & Ives prints, nineteenth century depictions of African-Americans, and miscellaneous background on a variety of artists and lithographs. However, with the exception of one classroom scenario, author Lea Watt manages to blend seamlessly historical information and mystery. A classic whodunit, complete with multiple motives and false trails. Maggie Summer is a conflicted and interesting protagonist-sleuth, who I look forward getting to know better in the rest of the series.
