    Extractions: Jane Langton, The Shortest Day: Murder at the Revels (Penguin, 1995) At Winter Solstice, a number of morris dancers are meeting unexpected deaths. No, it's not an Anglophobe's wet dream; it's The Shortest Day: Murder at the Revels . Jane Langton has brought back her familiar cast of New Englanders, headed by modern-day transcendentalist and ex-lawman Homer Kelly and his perceptive wife, Mary. Without revealing too much of the plot, it's worth noting that this is one of those books in which the murderer's identity is fairly obvious from early on; the mystery surrounds how the culprit will be caught and how much more havoc will be wreaked before the capture. This structure may provoke a ho-hum response in those who read mysteries for intricate plots. But for folks like myself, who don't necessarily care whodunit and read more for atmosphere, The Shortest Day is a winner. The book is peppered with quotes from carols, mummers' plays, and other seasonal delights. (If you're a purist who wants to quibble with solstice-time performances of the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, you might also find some of the details distracting.) Other motifs in the book include homelessness and astronomy, both appropriate subjects for the season when a star helped people who found no room at the inn. One thing that often bothers me about Langton's books is the illustrations. Langton's whimsical line drawings of dancers and stately Harvard halls are at odds with the insanities and autopsies of the plot, distracting in a sub-Gorey way. Then again, to enjoy mysteries means one must ignore, or cope with, the idea of death as entertainmentthe same theme found in the St. George play, come to think of it.

49. Review Of Murder At Montecello By Jane Langton
    MURDER AT MONTICELLO by jane langton. A HOMER KELLY MYSTERY. Viking, 2001. Authorjane langton does a fine job developing a rich set of characters.  
    http://www.booksforabuck.com/mystery/murder_montecello.html
    
    Extractions: Web search Viking, 2001 Fern Fisher has won a grant to work in Monticello and write a book on Thomas Jefferson. Initially, she draws inspiration from a tall red-haired figure that she takes to be her imagination’s representation of the late president. Soon she realizes that this figure is a very alive male, Tom Dean. Tom is fixated with the Lewis and Clark expedition, but has little use for slave-owner Jefferson. He and Fern clash, then begin to work together. This is not a good time in Charlottesville, Virginia. A serial killer has been at work killing women and leaving cryptic notes on their bodies. Notes that come directly from one of the Lewis and Clark expedition diaries. One witness reported that the killer had red hair. Could Tom be the killer? He becomes a suspect and it is up to Homer Kelly, Harvard professor now visiting the Monticello area, to prove him innocent. Author Jane Langton does a fine job developing a rich set of characters. The killer is suitably chilling; Tom and Fern are convincingly young, bumbling, and sexually bothered; Homer is professorial, with his lack of any navigational ability, abrupt fascination with various obscure topics, and confidence that he can be of assistance to the highly trained Charlottesville police force. Langton’s device of interleaving quotations from the journal of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and other members of the expedition works, and Langton is able to achieve a parallelism between the two-hundred year old expedition and Tom and Fern’s trials.
