Book Summary
When mystery bookstore owner Annie Laurance is invited to
teach "The Three Great Ladies of the Mystery" class at
Chastain Community College, the sometime sleuth discovers
that all is not strictly academic in Chastain's hallowed
halls of learning. And when a shocking scandal in the school
newspaper erupts in a suicide and two violent deaths,
Professor Laurance enlists the talents of her new hubby,
private eye Max Darling, and dons her thinking cap to probe
intrigue and vengeance among Chastain's faculty.
A
Dangerous Thing
Max and Annie, with dubious help from
three of their own great ladies of the mystery ? Annie's
pixilated mother-in-law, a batty local dowager, and a
Christie crime fanatic ? learn that just about everyone at
the school had means, motive, and access to the murder
weapons. From the secretly boozing professor of advertising
to the muscle-bound campus cad who barters passing grades
for a little extracurricular activity, anyone on the faculty
is a possible killer ? waiting to strike again!
