Could Graham Pugh really be involved in a murder? E.J. Pugh finds herself back at her old university stomping ground, determined to prove her son is no killer . . .
Graham Pugh should be having a ball as a first-year student at the University of Texas in Austin. Unfortunately for him, his roommate, Bishop ‘Call Me Bish’ Alexander, is an arrogant asshole he can’t stand, to the point of dreaming of killing him in his sleep. Even more unfortunately for Graham, when he wakes up early one morning for a lecture, he finds that Bishop actually is dead on the floor.
With Graham the prime suspect, E.J., Willis and the girls race up to Austin immediately. Unsurprisingly, it just so happens that Bishop annoyed a lot of people on campus, not just Graham. But who killed him? E.J. is soon facing a desperate battle to prove her son’s innocence.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cooper's exuberant 13th E.J. Pugh mystery (after 2015's Dead to the World) takes the romance writer and amateur sleuth from her home territory of Black Cat Ridge, Tex., to Austin, where her son, Graham, a student at the University of Texas, is in trouble. After months of putting up with his irritating, bullying roommate Bishop Alexander, Graham awakes one morning to find Bishop dead on their dorm room floor. His first thought is to phone his mother. As he subsequently says, "I don't need Mom right now, I need E.J. Pugh, the woman who finds out who did what. That's who I need!" Handling the official murder investigation is Austin police detective Nate Champion, who's distracted by his recent divorce and who sees E.J. only as the hysterical and bothersome mother of his prime suspect. Stymied and ignored, E.J. calls on homicide detective Elena Luna, her next-door neighbor, to sift through the vast array of suspects. Those looking for a fast-paced escape will be rewarded.)
