Perfect for you if...

  • You love mysteries with clever, flawed protagonists who stumble into danger whilst trying to live ordinary lives.
  • You enjoy books that balance genuine stakes with wit and humour without undercutting the tension.
  • You're drawn to romantic subplots that feel earned rather than tacked on, especially with an unconventional love interest.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer mysteries where the detective is coldly professional and emotionally detached from their work.
  • You want high-octane action sequences and globe-trotting stakes rather than a more intimate, campus-based mystery.
  • You're looking for gritty noir or dark procedurals; this skews lighter and more character-driven.

About this book

Daphne Ouverture, a junior professor of history at Harrison University, lectures on French colonialism and works on her next academic book. Her routine life changes when Sam Taylor, a rising star in the anthropology department, is murdered. Though Daphne was not close to Sam, his killer believes she possesses something that belonged to him—something worth killing for. While managing her teaching duties and complicated dating life, Daphne investigates the connection between herself and Sam's death. With assistance from a former detective who now works as a bookseller, she uncovers a deadly cover-up at the university. This debut mystery follows Daphne as she works to solve the crime before becoming the killer's next target.
