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
Great beginning!
A trip back in time to the 1920’s, the politics and complexities of a small college town and a new security officer who hasn’t even officially started work yet makes for a very entertaining story. Doro and Aggie friends, colleagues and employees at Michaw College in rural Ohio start off working this mystery as Doro is the person to find the victim but end up working right along with Officer Mallow despite all their best efforts to avoid it. What ensues is a clever mystery, a cast of colorful characters and perhaps a blossoming romance. First in series and a great start to a hopefully long run!
