Publish and Perish (Ben Reese Mystery)
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The Ivory Tower of academia may look serene from the outside, but inside it's a snakepit. At least according to Sally S. Wright in her wickedly pointed campus mystery, Publish or Perish. The victim here is Richard West, head of the English Department at a tony private college in Ohio and keeper of an academic ethic that belonged to an earlier age. The sleuth is Professor Ben Reese, a smart historian with a nose for crime. After reading Publish or Perish readers may see beneath the staid surface of university life, suspecting page-turning stories hidden from the untutored eye.
The New York Times Book Review, Marilyn Stasio
Ms. Wright gets a little giddy over Ben Reese, the formidably intelligent historian who interprets paltry clues to . . . [a] murder. But this romantic muchness can be overlooked in a story that has a good deal to say about a certain species of scholar who is doomed in modern academe.
