<p>Here's an interesting student: <a href="http://www.optonline.net/Entertainment/Article/Feeds?CID=type%3Dxml%26channel%3D31%26article%3D14055367%5B/url%5D">http://www.optonline.net/Entertainment/Article/Feeds?CID=type%3Dxml%26channel%3D31%26article%3D14055367</a></p>
<p>Stay-at-home moms are likely to be annoyed by the dig from an editor...</p>
<p>I read it this week; I didn't love it. The blurb said she was working on a sequel; perhaps she has changed her mind. I hope she does write a mystery set at Yale. I have one mystery set at Harvard and one at Princeton to read this weekend and I could ultimately add the Yale one to the pile. (And, of course, the Amanda Cross mysteries are set at the unnamed Columbia.)I also have one set at Oxford, but hundreds of years ago.</p>
<p>Are you reading those Ivy League mysteries by Pamela Thomas-Graham? I can tell you that Orange Crushed (Crush?), set in Princeton, is an absolute travesty, full of the grossest stereotypes. I read sections of it aloud to my kids, who are students there, and they laughed heartily at the way she writes about the campus, the students and the eating clubs.</p>
<p>Nope. Though I don't know that the ones I have are any better. The Harvard one is by Victoria Silver; it's out of print and I found it in a used book store. It's also 20 years old so I don't know how accuratelits representation is going to be. The Princeton book is by Ann Waldron. They're both for my "I'm by myself and I'm gonna have fun" weekend.</p>
<p>Sounds like fun. I see those are big sellers on the Princeton campus, where the bookstore keeps an "Orange list": <a href="http://www.pustore.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.pustore.com/</a> There is also The Rule of Four, which isn't that great either but is fun.</p>
