Winter
A Bob & Marcus Mystery
by H. N. Hirsch
About the Book
When UC-San Diego Professor Marcus George discovers the body of an outspoken, overbearing colleague in a faculty office, he becomes entangled in a murder investigation and reluctantly finds himself playing amateur sleuth. His partner, attorney Bob Abramson, is coping with a family tragedy—and, as his 40th birthday approaches, facing personal demons as well. Winter combines the suspense of a murder with a profound observation of character, as Bob and Marcus face their most difficult time as a couple.

Neutral
The book was okay, it is an engaging mix of academic intrigue and personal drama. A solid read for those who enjoy character-driven mysteries.
A Chilling Mystery with Heart
Winter blends an intriguing campus murder with a deeply human story about love, loss, and resilience. Bob and Marcus are compelling, flawed, and real, making the mystery as emotional as it is suspenseful. It’s a thoughtful, character-driven read that lingers long after the last page.
A compelling story with sharp character work.
The plot is engaging, the characters are well-developed, and the writing is strong throughout. The author clearly has an insider's understanding of academic culture—the egos, the quirks—which adds depth and authenticity to the narrative. While the resolution felt a bit rushed, the overall experience was thoroughly satisfying.
