Murder Misread

CAMPUS POLITICS CAN BE MURDER

When Maggie Ryan returns to her alma mater as a consultant to reading expert Charlie Fielding, she takes along her two small children to enjoy the drowsy campus after the hectic pace of New York. But the academic peace is shattered by a violent death that seems at first to be suicide.

Retired professor Talbott Chandler was beloved on campus, friendly, concerned, and compassionate. He had no reason to kill himself--in fact, he had invited several friends to a celebration he never lived to attend. More telling, the gun that ended his life was clutched in the left-handed man's right hand. But he had no enemies...or did he? Upon closer examination, Maggie finds that Tal Chandler was the keeper of secrets for a number of colleagues within the university enclave. Could one secret be a motive for murder?
