Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. This one is also in my top ten mysteries. There are very few murders set in the hockey world. ( ) Substance: Why are so many people fighting over a hockey team? Thatcher follows the money to find out. A great slice-of-life from NYC in the 1970s, and an education in financial affairs. Style: Sometimes Lathen's wit is a bit too oblique, and her characters sometimes seem to be refugees from a sit-com, but the clues are fair and the deduction legitimate. PG only because most kids can't follow the finance, and wouldn't want to; never embarrassing. The Sloan decides to branch out from its usual sponsorship of the ballet into sponsoring hockey telecasts. At first, this looked like a nice, safe idea. But when the team begins winning, and egos on the team begin to flare, it ends in murder. John Putnam Thatcher must try to clear this mess up before the Sloan gets a black eye. cmb sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
