Book Log 2010 #32: The Pale Blue Eye by Louis Bayard
Very enjoyable historical mystery set at West Point, where a death on campus with sinister overtones is investigated by a retired detective, who finds an assistant in a gloomy cadet named Edgar Allan Poe. Reviews I've read suggest a difference of opinion about the ending - some loved it, others found it a stretch. I tend towards the latter camp, but not so strong that it dropped my overall appreciation of the book at all.
