A locked library room. A poisoned guest lecturer. An English professor who can't stop asking questions.
When controversial academic Dr. Warren Prescott is found dead in the rare books room at Spencer University, the door is locked from the inside and everyone on campus had a reason to want him gone. Prescott spent his career exposing fraud at universities, and his visit to Spencer during finals week has rattled every corner of the administration.
English professor Olivia Little was there when the police arrived, and she can't shake the feeling that something about the investigation is wrong. Five people had keycards to that room. One of them is dead. And when the police arrest a nervous committee chair whose timeline doesn't add up, Olivia finds herself doing what she always does: asking questions nobody wants answered.
With her best friend Polly digging up gossip, her friend Chloe pulling public records, and campus security chief Don Harding torn between helping her and keeping her safe, Olivia follows the clues through faculty grudges, falsified data, and a greenhouse full of poisonous plants. But the real killer is organized, patient, and already planning a way out.
Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Jenn McKinlay, and Ellery Adams. If you love small-town charm, campus mysteries, clever sleuths, and a slow-burn romance worth the wait, Final Exam Felony is your next favorite read.
