About this ebook
College librarian Doro Banyon discovers the body of her nemesis, Professor Hemet Corlon, near the card catalogues when she arrives for work. Evidence points to under a terrible accident, but the new school security officer disagrees. Because Doro and Corlon have been at odds over the status of women at the formerly all-male school, she falls under suspicion—and she isn’t alone. Most professors and students supported women’s suffrage and welcomed coeducation, so they stand steadfast against the old-fashioned ideas of Corlon and his handful of powerful cronies. More than one person wanted to see an end to the professor and his ilk. But who made his departure permanent? In seeking answers, Doro joins forces with her best friend to solve the mystery of the catalogued corpse.
Go back in time to 1920s small town Ohio and join amateur sleuth Doro Banyon, along with her team of intriguing individuals, to crack cases and bring justice.

I love a good Agatha Christie-style whodunit and this one was right up my alley! So often fiction authors tackling a historical setting really don't do their homework but the care and research that went into accurately portraying the spirit of the 1920's was so evident in this book. A charming and well-conceived mystery. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Love the story! 5/5 ❤ even if it's very predictable who the murderer was. This story is the newest of my favorites. I love the good characters, the plot lines. My favorite character is Dorothea Banyon and Everett Mallow

A fun clean read. As I saw in a review before I read the book , it does appear to be historically accurate to the best of my knowledge. And it kept me wondering to the end whodunnit.
