Publisher Description
College librarian Doro Banyon discovers the body of her nemesis, Professor Hemet Corlon, near the card catalogues when she arrives for work. Evidence points to a terrible accident, but the new school security officer disagrees. Because Doro and Corlon have been at odds over the status of women at the formerly all-male school, she falls under suspicion—and she isn't alone. Most professors and students supported women's suffrage and welcomed coeducation, so they stand steadfast against the old-fashioned ideas of Corlon and his handful of powerful cronies. More than one person wanted to see an end to the professor and his ilk. But who made his departure permanent? In seeking answers, Doro joins forces with her best friend to solve the mystery of the catalogued corpse.
Go back in time to 1920s small town Ohio and join amateur sleuth Doro Banyon, along with her team of colorful characters, to crack cases and mete out justice.
Customer Reviews
The Cataloged Corpse
Good read, hard to put down once started. Recommend for a light read.
A fun read and well thought out.
I liked the way the characters were described and painted. The plot was clever. The inner action of both “ sleuths” was well done. Getting to know and accept each other and their strengths was slowly, and surly well done. Enjoyable fun read. CW.
Fun quick read
Didn’t notice any typos, easy to follow, good cast of characters, not too many!
