This is a pretty good murder mystery. The story is about a man whose student goes missing. As a result, he claims her thesis paper as his own writing and publishes it. Then, she comes back to town, looking for revenge. I liked this premise a lot. I felt the execution of the book was just okay and by about 250 pages in I was pretty sure I knew who the killer was going to be. This book was a tiny bit suspenseful and it was interesting.
