History Lessons

De: Zoe B. Wallbrook

Narrado por: Jasmin Walker

A college history professor must solve her superstar colleague’s murder before she becomes the next target in this funny, romantic debut mystery, perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Kellye Garrett, and Ali Hazelwood.

As a newly minted junior professor, Daphne Ouverture spends her days giving lectures on French colonialism, writing her first academic book, and going on atrocious dates. Her small world suits her just fine. Until Sam Taylor dies.

The rising star of Harrison University’s anthropology department was never one of Daphne’s favorites, despite his popularity. But that doesn’t prevent Sam’s killer from believing Daphne has something that belonged to Sam—something the killer will stop at nothing to get.

Between grading papers and navigating her disastrous love life, Daphne embarks on an investigation to find out what connects her to Sam’s murder. With the help of an alluring former-detective-turned-bookseller, she unravels a deadly cover-up on campus. This well-crafted, voice-driven mystery introduces an unforgettable crime fiction heroine readers will root for.

Great mystery!

Loved the story, and character development. I hope this is the beginning of a great new series.

Just great!

The mystery and the characters were both well done. The book was also well read.

Really awful

It was recommended by NYT reviewer Sarah Weinman, and I’ll never trust her again.
It’s a strange combination of being too predictable while having strands that go nowhere.
