About the book:
English
professor Lila Maclean is thrilled about her new job at prestigious Stonedale
University, until she finds one of her colleagues dead. She soon learns that
everyone, from the chancellor to the detective working the case, believes
Lila—or someone she is protecting—may be responsible for the horrific event, so
she assigns herself the task of identifying the killer.
More attacks
on professors follow, the only connection a curious symbol at each of the crime
scenes. Putting her scholarly skills to the test, Lila gathers evidence, but
her search is complicated by an unexpected nemesis, a suspicious investigator,
and an ominous secret society. Rather than earning an “A” for effort, she
receives a threat featuring the mysterious emblem and must act quickly to avoid
failing her assignment…and becoming the next victim.

Question to the author: Are there vocabulary words or concepts in your book that may be new to readers? Define some of those.
ReplyDeleteHi Mai: Good question! The idea of "publish or perish" might be one: it means that when you are on the tenure track, you are expected to publish academic articles and books (or else you will not be granted tenure, which means you get to stay at the institution). Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, Maria!
ReplyDeleteI almost always enjoy academic settings (in books, that is). Will watch for the review an keep an eye out for this one.
