By: Gail Bowen   | Series: A Joanne Kilbourn Mystery 
Gail Bowen, winner of the 1995 Arthur Ellis Award for best crime novel for her last Joanne Kilbourn mystery, A Colder Kind of Death, is back – with her most daring mystery to date.

In the horrifying opening paragraph of A Killing Spring, Reed Gallagher, the head of the School of Journalism at the university where Joanne Kilbourn teaches, is found dead in a seedy rooming house. He is dressed in women’s lingerie, with an electric cord around his neck. Suicide, the police say. A clear case of accidental suicide. But for Joanne, who takes on the thankless task of breaking the news to Gallagher’s wife, this death is just the first in a series of misfortunes that rock her life, both professional and personal.

A few days after Gallagher’s death, the School of Journalism is vandalized – its offices and computers are trashed, and homophobic graffiti are sprayed everywhere. Then an unattractive and unpopular journalism student in Joanne’s politics class stops coming to school after complaining to an unbelieving Joanne that she’s being sexually harassed. Clearly, all is not as well at the university as Joanne had thought. Nor is all well in her love life after the casual racism of a stranger drives a wedge between Joanne and her lover, Inspector Alex Kequahtooway. To make matters worse, Joanne is unceremoniously fired by her best friend from the weekly political panel on Nationtv, which she’s being doing for years.

Badly shaken by these calamities, Joanne struggles to carry cheerfully on. Action, she knows, is better for her than moping. She decides to find out why her student has stopped coming to class, and in doing so, Joanne steps unknowingly into an on-campus world of fear and deceit and murder.

Very shiny, very pointy
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
I'm actually glad I oversized these a bit. These are pointed oxfords with an interesting diamond or scale like pattern on them. Not typically my usual style but it is nice to switch it up every now and again. At an 11 they fit, though I am usually a 10.5 and there are rough bits on the inside I'll have to apply moleskine to. Not really bits that are rough for the shoe themselves, just parts where they don't fit my particular feet right. Other than those bits they were okay as far as comfortability. I wouldn't go walking super far in them or anything, but for a day at the office or for a restaurant or something like that they are perfectly serviceable. I don't think they will hold up in the long term as I do see areas where the construction is a bit lacking. The padding in particular needs some work. I imagine I will be able to keep them around a bit longer with some glue re-application (this is easy to do, and generally if you are anything like me the sole tends to separate on shoes first). Overall I think they are an okay value here. They aren't really comfortable enough for me to be a daily driver kind of shoe, but for a special occasion and to fit a particular outfit they are nice to have in rotation.

Stylish & Comfortable
Size: 10, Color: Black
These men’s dress shoes offer a sleek and modern look. I used them for formal wear, and they complemented the outfit nicely. The design is polished and professional. They stand out. The fit is comfortable for extended wear. The materials feel durable and supportive. The sole provides good traction. That’s important. They are versatile for both business and formal events. The finish holds up well over time. They maintain their appearance. Very reliable. Overall, these are stylish and practical shoes. They combine comfort with design. I would recommend them. Great value.

Stands out without shouting
Looks and feels high quality. Keeps time and date perfectly. A little small to get over bigger hands. Love the dail color.
