A pleasant read for a Sunday afternoon

This book is, by far, the most minimal in terms of story complexity and character development that I've read by this author. It is, however brief, a good and pleasant read that you don't have to invest a lot of time with. I read it in an afternoon and enjoyed it, but wasn't engaged by the characters or the simple-ish story arc as I have been with this author's other books. I'd recommend it - I've read a lot worse!

Spark

Michael Craft, author of the stellar Mark Manning mystery series, delivered this sharp book back in 1993. It centers on Claire Gray, who returns to her alma mater as a visiting professor, and becomes enmeshed in the life of George, a local actor who's gay and much younger than Claire. Each uses the other for her/his own purposes, ultimately ending in both ruin and success. This book is especially significant because Claire, in a slightly different form, has appeared in the Mark Manning series, and will soon be starring in her own.
