Perfect for you if...

You enjoy academic settings where intellectual puzzles matter as much as the mystery itself.
You appreciate cosy mysteries with wit and substance, where the detective uses their expertise rather than luck.
You like ensemble casts where departmental politics and personal rivalries feel as real as the crime.

Maybe not for you if...

You need high-octane action and fast-paced chase scenes rather than measured investigation.
You find academic jargon and literary references tedious rather than satisfying.
You prefer standalone mysteries over series entries, even if this one works independently.

About this book

At Cambridge University's St. Ethelreda's College, the head of the English Department has died. Professor Cassandra James is appointed to run the department and must choose between improving her underperforming colleagues' work or risking the program's funding. When she discovers the former head's private papers, she realizes the death was not accidental. Cassandra applies her academic skill in solving obscure literary puzzles to a new challenge: identifying the killer. Kirkus Reviews notes that Poulson maintains tension while exploring the roles characters play both academically and personally, describing the work as an academic cozy with attitude.
