A locked library room. A poisoned guest lecturer. An English professor who can't stop asking questions.

Dr. Warren Prescott made enemies exposing university fraud. Now he's dead in Spencer University's rare books room — door locked from the inside.
English professor and amateur sleuth Olivia Little knows the police arrested the wrong person. With her best friend digging up gossip, a friend pulling records, and a campus security chief torn between helping and protecting her, Olivia follows clues through faculty rivalries, falsified research, and a greenhouse full of poisonous plants.
But this killer is patient — and already planning a way out.
A cozy campus mystery perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Jenn McKinlay, and Ellery Adams. Locked-room mystery meets small-town charm, clever amateur sleuth, and a slow-burn romance worth the wait.
