When mystery bookstore owner Annie Laurance is invited to teach "The Three Great Ladies of the Mystery" class at Chastain Community College, the sometime sleuth discovers that all is not strictly academic in Chastain's hallowed halls of learning. And when a shocking scandal in the school newspaper erupts in a suicide and two violent deaths, Professor Laurance enlists the talents of her new hubby, private eye Max Darling, and dons her thinking cap to probe intrigue and vengeance among Chastain's faculty. A Dangerous Thing Max and Annie, with dubious help from three of their own great ladies of the mystery -- Annie's pixilated mother-in-law, a batty local dowager, and a Christie crime fanatic -- learn that just about everyone at the school had means, motive, and access to the murder weapons. From the secretly boozing professor of advertising to the muscle-bound campus cad who barters passing grades for a little extracurricular activity, anyone on the faculty is a possible killer -- waiting to strike again!

"I enjoyed this story, in fact is is probably the best of the half-dozen I have read by the author. I have some quibbles but they are minor and have to do more with the authors style than with the story. A good, solid mystery." — Jim (4 out of 5 stars)

" Easy read. Good for a plane or car ride or while at the beach. Can read over a long period of time. "
" I got into this author because, though she is not local, she writes about a fictional island off the coast near Charleston...or Chastain, in her books.....I wish we had a bookstore like Annie's though! "
" Many people whose opinion I respect love this author. However, I couldn't get past the sing-song, simplistically structured writing, and gave up after only a few pages. "
" One of my favorites b/c she is teaching a class on the most famous female murder mystery writers. I haven't even begun to include all of the traditional murder mystery authors I love. "
" good but not one of the best of deth on demand. love the three ladies "
" Love these books. I never know who the killer is! "
