About the Author

She also finished one of Pym's novels after Pym died. Holt has also recently published My Dear Charlotte, a story that uses the actual language of Jane Austen's letters to her sister Cassandra to construct a Regency murder mystery.

Sheila Malory is invited to spend a semester at a small university in Pennsylvania teaching English literature. Shortly after she arrives a body is discovered and Sheila is approached by the police officer investigating the case because she can give him an outsider's view of all the people involved.
Sheila soon finds her loyalties divided as she wonders whether keeping a friend's secret is more important than keeping information from the police which could lead them to the perpetrator.
This is an interesting cosy mystery which is well written and well plotted with believable characters and dialogue. It is part of the Sheila Malory series and the books can be read in any order. The background to this story provides a fascinating insight into American academic life.

Murder on Campus-Sheila Malory
3 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read almost all her books but I feel this one must have been one of her earlier ones because it lacked the "page turner" qualities of her other books. Story tended to drag a lot throughout the story.
