Produktbeschreibung

A history professor must solve a colleague's murder when she is targeted by his killer in this series opening campus mystery that marries the romance of Dorothy Sayers and the wit of Issa Rae's Insecure. Perfect for crime readers who love a mix of humor and suspense-in the vein of Janet Evanovich and Kellye Garrett. History professor Daphne Ouverture has chosen a simple life. She spends her days giving lectures on French colonialism, working on her next book, and going on atrocious dates. Her small world suits her just fine. Until Sam Taylor dies. Despite his popularity, the rising star of Harrison University's anthropology department was never one of Daphne's favorite colleagues. But that hasn't stopped Sam's killer from believing that Daphne has something that belonged to Sam-something the killer will stop at nothing to get. In between grading papers and navigating her disastrous love life, Daphne embarks on an investigation to find out what connects her to Sam's murder. As she gets closer to the truth, she begins to uncover a secret history of injustice on campus and off-with the help of an alluring former-detective-turned-bookseller, Rowan Peterson. This well-crafted mystery spun by a comic voice will have readers gasping, swooning, and pulling an all-nighter to the deadly finish.
