There Will Be Time is a grab bag of a novel, a murder mystery, a comic look at life in a small college in the Carolina mountains where relations between faculty, staff, and administration are on a relatively first name basis and everyone seemingly knows everybody else’s business.Wilson Roberts knows such places, having taught at Lees-McRae College in the Carolina Mountains, Paul Smiths College in the northern Adirondacks, Delaware Valley College in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Greenfield Community College in Massachusetts. He brings wit and insight into his depiction of campus life, as in his description of the single faculty apartment building at Banner Grove College: 'The apartments had been built quickly and cheaply by a sub-assistant dean of grass cutting who hadn’t spent a cent more than necessary to get an occupancy permit from the building inspector, who was his wife’s brother.'There Will Be Time will entertain any reader. It’s a thrilling murder mystery filled with humor, suspense, a love of life in academic Siberia, and amusing insights into that life.
