Amanda Cross is really Carolyn Heilbrun, author of the groundbreaking nonfiction book Writing a Woman's Life, and, like her heroine Kate Fansler, a professor of English. That's why these 10 stories--written during breaks between her longer works--are intellectual puzzles rather than action-packed adventures. Each one is a cool, bracing spoonful of lemon sherbet for the brain. Cross/Fansler novels in paperback include Death in a Tenured Position, In the Last Analysis, The James Joyce Murder, and A Trap for Fools.

The collected stories
Pleasant time-passer, a collection of short stories all but one featuring Cross's series amateur detective, Kate Fansler. The stories are clever enough, and often witty. You may get a bit much of a faculty members view academic life in the '80-'90s and Cross and Fansler are feminists and don't let you forget it -- some of the stories turn on male perception of women, which is often where the wittiness comes in.
I'm not sure whether I'd like archness of her style at novel length, but since I have one of her novels I'll eventually find out.
