The Late Scholar was entertaining and kept my interest, but I didn't feel it was as well plotted or characterized as the previous one in the series. I did like the setting at Oxford, a throwback to Gaudy Night, and it was different enough as it focused on a men's college. The mystery plot didn't hold up, however, and any recollections of Gaudy Night were disrupted by the body count. However, I still liked it. I wonder if she'll write another.
