Publisher's summary

Professor Emily Cavanaugh makes a horrific discovery while writing her book on Dostoevsky in the entertaining fourth Crime with the Classics story.

Professor Emily Cavanaugh has left Windy Corner behind and is back at Bede College on her sabbatical, determined to finish writing her book on Dostoevsky. She is soon reunited with one of her promising students, Daniel Razumov, as well as familiar faces on the teaching staff - her friend, Marguerite Grenier; her half-brother, Oscar Lansing; the abrasive division chair, Richard McClintock; and the predatory Taylor Curzon, known for her relentless pursuit of young male students - and Taylor now has Daniel firmly in her sights.

Emily knows Taylor must be stopped, but as she starts gathering evidence of Daniel’s harassment, she has a disturbing flashback, and then makes a gruesome discovery.... Can Emily catch a dangerous campus killer while also confronting events from her own past?

Great cozy mystery read

Love this series. If you enjoy Agatha Christie, you’ll like this series. Give it a try.

Was there suppose to be a mystery?

This had to be one of the worst books I have listened to. I love the narrator which is how I actually ended up listening to this series. The other books were pretty good but this one was lacking… pretty much knew what was going to happen and who did it. If you read/listen to a lot of cozy’s you may want to pass on this one.

A delight

I can’t remember the last time I read a mystery book, cozy or not, that dealt with the fact that there is a spiritual world. All of the authors, music and spiritual themes brought up in the story made it a delightful listen.

Obvious storyline, explicitly christian content

I love the idea here and that the story discusses a wonderful literary figure, but I figured out the 'mystery' in the first 3 chapters. The main character has totally inappropriate conversations with students plotting the death of a professor -- and then uses that as a transparent attempt to inject religion using a well-exhausted debate about God and Nietzsche. If you a thin veneer of Christianity in your mystery novels, this might suit.

Bleh.

I have heard all the books in this series and the first two were interesting and well-done. That was the past. The present book is tired and you could figure out the plot by time the first third of the book was read. The author has become much more strident in voice and in using religion. I won't be reading/listening to any more in this series.
