Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I really enjoyed this little mystery, and plan to read the earlier Joe Barley books. His descriptions of college politics and in-fighting between departments like English and Business ring true. There is biting humour here, and the characters are fascinating. The mysteries of disappearing cars, anonymous letters, and a disappearing lecturer are very intriguing, as Joe Barley investigates in his unassuming way while trying to deal with the personal problem of needing a full-time job to support his soon-to-be family.

As if Joe Barley doesn't have enough on his mind. His job as a part-time instructor at Hambleton College is likely to be eliminated, and his partner, Carole, is expecting their first child. He's also been assigned to find the identity of a mole in the English Department who is part of a nasty and embarrassing letterwriting exchange in a student newspaper. But the stresses of his job and personal life are compounded by the disappearance of a member of the Hambleton faculty, and Joe begins to hear rumours that the teacher was involved with a drug ring run by the Russian mob. The long-awaited third instalment in the Joe Barley Mysteries series, A Likely Story showcases the biting humour, engrossing storytelling, and keen eye for the ordinary that have made Eric Wright one of the most beloved crime writers in Canada.
