Phi Beta Murder: a Rex Graves Mystery

In ten words or less: Scottish barrister investigates death of a Florida college student.

Review: Rex Graves, a Scottish barrister with a knack for solving crimes, anticipates a carefree holiday in Florida with his college student son, Campbell. When the dormitory resident assistant, Dixon Clark, is discovered hanged in his room, the university and the police are quick to write off the death as a suicide. But Dixon's family is not so sure, and none of his friends think he's been depressed.
Graves agrees to look into the circumstances around Dixon's death, while still hoping for some time with his son boating and fishing. But even that is seeming more unlikely with the surprize appearance of Graves' old flame Moira Wilcox, who had tossed him over to go to Iraq.

Why bother? Very much in the spirit of Agatha Christie, "Phi Beta Murder" is a cozy with an amateur sleuth, but with a middle-aged male at center stage. This is one to recommend to mystery-loving friends. Can't wait for the next Rex Graves adventure!
