Professor Susan Lombardi vowed when she got tenure that she wouldn’t be on any more committee at the college. Unfortunately she gets asked to be on the committee to decide tenure for Abby Gillette. Abby is a very controversial teacher. Susan’s will be the deciding vote.

A group of supporters of Abby’s start causing trouble on the campus. And when a suspicious fire sends one of the committee members to the hospital and then another is found dead in Abby’s office, Susan must try to find out who is behind all this. Could it be the group of supporters?

Susan begins to dig deeper into everything to try to sort things out. Can she do so without becoming the next victim?

I really enjoy this series. Susan is such a fun character. The college campus setting is so entertaining. It’s a great cozy and you’ll devour it in no time! I highly recommend this book.
