Safely away from the chaos of Manhattan, St. Thomas, a small college on the banks of the Hudson River in the Bronx, is supposed to be tranquil, bucolic, and serene. Unfortunately, English professor Alison Bergeron has found it to be anything but. Recently divorced from a fellow professor and even more recently without a car - it was stolen - she has been hoofing it to school. One Friday evening, two NYPD homicide detectives drop by her office. The good news is that they found her beat-up Volvo; the bad news is that the body of one of the students in her Shakespeare seminar was in the trunk.
Not only are Alison's chances of getting the car back bleak, but suddenly she's the primary suspect on a list that includes, among others, the murdered student's drug-dealing boyfriend, Vince, and the girl's father's business rivals (he's head of an old Italian family . . .).
Accused of a crime that she didn't commit, Alison enlists her best friend Max's emotional support and services as an amateur sleuth. Their fumbling efforts to clear Alison's name could land her in even hotter water with Detective Bobby Crawford, the handsome investigating officer (and former altar boy) - not to mention the nuns at St. Thomas….
Maggie Barbieri's charming professor and down-to-earth detective make an unlikely but lovable team in her delightful debut mystery.

Editorial reviews
Lively and endlessly entertaining, full of mysterious twists and turns, Maggie Barbieri's Murder 101 plunges listeners into a great story from the first sentence. Gayle Hendrix performs the story of Alison Bergeron, professor at the idyllic college on the Hudson River, St. Thomas. After finalizing her divorce and having her car stolen, detectives tell her that her car's been found complete with the body of a student in the trunk. Funnier than expected, dramatic and romantic, this is a mystery that listeners will keep coming back to.

to rummage through her office--probably disturbing the crime scene--looking for clues.
This, after the detective agrees to go with her to explore the scene and keep her from compromising the evidence.
Why is she behaving so stupidly? Oh, just because she wants to do things her way.
And after the detective has helped her so often and clearly cares for her, she leaves him without a car and without telling him what she's going to do so that if he is called on duty, he won't be able to help.
She's already been kidnapped once in connection with the case they're investigating and had to be rescued by the police. They still don't know who the killer might be. But she decides to go out to dinner with another friend at night by herself and has to walk to and from a train station AT NIGHT. HOW STUPID IS THAT? She is abducted AGAIN and is threatened and abused by the father of the murdered girl. The father seems to be involved in organized crime.
I won't go into other foolish choices made by the main character. But at some point, I didn't care about her any more.
I got this book from the Plus Catalog, and for the first 2/3 of it, I thought: Great. I've discovered a series I think I'll enjoy. After the silliness in the last third of the story, I doubt if I'll pay credits for the other books in the series.
I was really enjoying this book until . . .
