User reviews

LibraryThing member krysteria
A typical murder mystery, more mystery, less character development and personal lives. This book was very much like a Hardy Boy book, only instead of brothers, the murder is solved by lovers. Not the worst murder mystery I’ve read, but genre mysteries are usually too mundane for my tastes.

main characters are pretty cool and I’m sure once you get into the series, you grow to like them even more. This is a mystery series, like the Hardy Boys.

On a scale of 1 to 10, it’s a 6.

First of the Tom and Scott mysteries. A teacher is killed and dumped in Tom's school room. As he's the one who found the body he's a prime suspect. This put him to investigating. He uncovers a gambling ring at the school. He also learns that some of his former students are involved in prostitution.
