Query: Emotioanl, dramatic novel of friendship, love and murder

An intriguing first novel about a group of college friends whose love of Greek classicism (and a greatteacher) leads to murder. While many critics have found this book pretentious, I found the charactersinteresting and well drawn. In fact, the charcters are the most interesting part of the book. The murderthat occurs and what leads up to it is less interesting than getting inside these characters heads. Readthis for a well-written look at five people and a look inside their heads as they go through a terrible yearin college. If you're looking for a good mystery however, look elsewhere. This is a character study.
