Book Review: Murder 101

Murder 101, by Maggie Barbieri

This mystery follows an English professor, Alison Bergeron, as she goes through her paces as crime victim, then murder suspect, then victim again in this light academic mystery. She teaches at a small Catholic College on the banks of the Hudson River, is recently divorced, and had her car stolen. The car turned up, but with the body of one of her students inside. And that’s just the beginning of her bad day. . . This is a fun read, possibly the start of a series by Ms. Barbieri. -The Reference Librarians
