Many thanks to NetGalley, Penzler Publishers | The Mysterious Press, and Highbridge Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this first in a new series by Amy Bloom, with the audiobook wonderfully narrated by Hillary Huber. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 3.5 stars!
Dell Chandler lost her job as an English professor and is now working as a private detective, when she is called to investigate the death of a not very well-liked professor at Cromwell University. The university is trying to keep things quiet and avoid the media, so Dell needs to solve the murder before the police do.
I seem to have a love/hate relationship with Bloom's books - either they are a 5 star or they are less than. This one was less than, but I am still interested in reading the next in the series because there's lots there to build on, especially since the ending was rather abrupt. Plus, I liked the academic setting. The audiobook narration by Hillary Huber was wonderful as always, and kept me listening when I may have otherwise stopped.
