    MURDER @ WORK reminded me of a good old-fashioned mystery story.  

    The story takes place in new South Africa.  Christine is very frustrated working in her place of employment.  Her
    boss is nasty and mean. She is looking forward to a vacation in Greece with her husband and going to a math
    convention to present a paper, because her love is math.  

    Her boss revokes her time off and then dies.  Christine needs to find the murderer so she won't have to miss her
    vacation.  

    The story was good but does not contain a lot of action; however, it's still fun trying to solve the mystery and put
    together the clues before Christine does.

    Overall, the book is a good one, but I don't know that it will necessarily appeal to a majority of teens.
