Physical Education is the sixth in the series of detective-comedy-mystery-romances stories revolving around university prof Alison Bergeron. The series is authored by my friend Maggie Barbieri.
And the first book I've read on my new Kindle Fire reader/tablet (Had the KF for a week and I love it).
I've read and reviewed all of Maggie's books in this series and they're lots of fun. Here's the first in the series with my review Latest Read: "Murder 101" and this latest installment has a throwback to the first book: a dead body appears in the trunk of Alison's car.
And then it's off to the races with the usual twists and turns. The big twist in this one is how Alison is called upon to temporarily coach the ladies basketball team at the College (St. Thomas, on the secenic Hudson River – eerily similar to the author's alma mater, St. Vincent's in the Bronx).
The standard cast of characters, along with some new ones, and plenty of sub-plots. And of course Professor Bergeron is now married to Detective "Hot Pants" Crawford.
Alison is loaded with one-liners ("one day you're a basketball coach and the next youre selling candy") as she stumbles through to the satisfying conclusion.
All great fun! A modified version of this review will be going up on Amazon.
