The Semester of Our Discontent
A Lila Maclean Mystery
by

When newly minted English professor Lila Maclean keeps
showing up at the scenes of crimes at Stonedale University, suspicion is cast
her way…until her cousin and fellow professor is arrested for murder. Lila
decides she has to find out what is going on, now that the police believe the
case is solved. A second murder keeps Lila in the crosshairs of the detective
looking for the second killer, until another professor is arrested.
Her investigation puts her in the path of danger and when
she comes face-to-face with the killer, Lila may not live long enough to clear
her colleagues, let alone work towards tenure at Stonedale.
Ms. Kuhn has written an impressive debut cozy mystery. Her
descriptions of academia and the stress of aiming for tenure hit the mark. And
her writing style draws in the reader to see, hear and experience life on a
campus. I, for one, am eagerly anticipating the second installment of the Lila
Maclean mystery series.
Five stars!
