- Synopsis
- [From the inside dust jacket flap:] "What was to be a peaceful, settled life as tranquil New England college for Sarah Deane, English fellow cum amateur detective, and Dr. Alex McKenzie becomes a baffling exercise in detection when the body of Alice Marmott, a student at Bowmouth College in Maine, is found frozen and strangled in an ice sculpture of a Viking ship. There is no shortage of suspects for Alice was the kind of student who could drive anyone--whether peer or professor--to drink, if not to murder. Soft-voiced yet relentless in her pursuit of academic excellence, she even wrote unsigned papers for extra credit. To complicate matters further, there is soon another murder of an equally unlikeable person; this time it's death by poisoned cocoa. Sarah and Alex must call upon all their sleuthing skills and understanding of human nature to determine which member of the rather unconventional English Department had the best motive and means for murder." Look for more books in this intricately plotted cozy mystery series filled with clearly drawn diverse and believable characters/suspects. Most are set in Maine and surrounding New England states and are liberally strewn with enjoyable literary quotes as the main character is an English teacher. The author also delves into interesting background topics as settings for these mysteries which adds to their appeal to readers who enjoy fascinating true trivia within their fiction.
