Speaking of Murder
Tace Baker (aka Edith

The murder of a talented
student at a small New England college thrusts linguistics professor Lauren
Rousseau into the search for the killer. Lauren is a determined Quaker with an
ear for accents. Her investigation exposes small town intrigues, academic
blackmail and a clandestine drug cartel that now has its sights set on her.
Convinced that the key to the
crime lies hidden in her dead student’s thesis, Lauren races to solve the
mystery while an escalating trail of misfortune circles ever closer. Her
department chair behaves suspiciously. A century-old local boat shop is
torched. Lauren’s best friend goes missing—and the unsettled relationship with
her long-time lover threatens to implode just when she needs him the most.
Looking forward to reading this over my vacation. Amazed there aren't more bodies showing up in the cut-throat world of academics!
