Synopsis

In the latest from the bestselling author of Murder on St. Nicholas Avenue, former police sergeant Frank Malloy and his wife adjust to life in New York high society as they investigate a death in the field of higher learning... After spending his first few weeks as a private detective by investigating infidelities of the wealthy, Frank has a more serious case at hand. Abigail Northrup of Tarrytown, New York, was her parents' pride and joy. After graduating from a prestigious women's college in Morningside Heights, she took a job there as an instructor. She also joined the ranks of the New Women, ladies planning for a life without a husband in which they make their own decisions and make a difference in the world. Unfortunately, her murder ended all that. When the police declare the incident a random attack and refuse to investigate further, Abigail's parents request Frank's help. Of course, he'll need Sarah's assistance as she's more familiar with the world of academia, and it will be far easier for her to interview the lady professors. Yet difficulties arise as they learn that although Miss Northrup may have been an exemplary student and teacher, she lived in a world of secrets and lies.

Frank Malloy's first big case as a private investigator is a murder at a women's college. Abigail Northrup, a former student and current teacher, was found on the grounds of the college with a screwdriver sticking out of her eye. She was known as a "new woman"--a lady who does not need a husband to......more

Rounding up from a 3.5. I do enjoy the family teamwork in solving the mystery. This one seemed a bit on the bland side. Perhaps as others have speculated, the series is not as exciting with Sarah and Frank married -- no romantic tension. Maybe Maeve and Gino will have to step it up.......more

Mmmm... I didn't like this one as much as the others... Not because it was badly written, but because I didn't like the mystery. The reason for the crime was just meh... It could be described as: mind your business, otherwise you'll get hurt!. The victim was such an odious person also.........more
