About this ebook

Professor and amateur sleuth Henry Spearman uses economics to try to solve a murder while on a Caribbean vacation

Cinnamon Bay seems like the ideal Caribbean getaway. But for Harvard economist and amateur detective Henry Spearman it offers an unexpected and decidedly different diversion: murder. With the police at a loss, Spearman investigates on his own, following a rather different set of laws—those of economics. Theorizing and hypothesizing, Spearman sets himself on the killer’s trail as it winds from the perfect beaches and manicured lawns of a resort to the bustling old port of Charlotte Amalie to the perilous hiking trails of a dense forest. Can Spearman crack the case using economics—and before it’s too late?

    What does the sluth respond when trying to solve the crime? "Elementary, elementary economics." Basically this is the story of an economics profesor that goes on vacation and solves a string of murders using the powers of economic analysis. While the authors have a disclaimer that this book is not meant to teach economics, i certainly feel that its a good back up tool, at least. Overall, it was a pretty light hearted funny story, as far as murder stories go. It certainly wasn't bad, it made me chuckle, and i may have even learned a thing or two on the way. This is certainly not the gripping murder mystery of the year, but i don't think its meant to be...it about higher things,economics, and beyond.
