Murder at Masden (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662967207)

An Erudite Mystery. A Sensuous Romance. A Fight to the Finish.

Janie Cameron, an associate professor in Victorian literature, is celebrating her thirty-third birthday with her devoted and accomplished friends. They've just launched Janie's profile on an online dating site.

In the days that follow, Janie does indeed meet a stunning man-the old-fashioned way-at a pub quiz at the Modern Art Oxford. She's impressed with his superior knowledge of Shakespeare and a little-known opera written in Sanskrit. Who is this man, and why has no one seen him before? Her interest is further piqued when he unabashedly reveals that he's a junior porter at a university college.

But Janie's desire to know more about William is put on pause when one of her students is gruesomely murdered.

As the killer targets another student and several of her friends, she must acknowledge her disturbing suspicions: Has she attracted a serial killer as well as a desirable man? Or is it someone in her closest circle?

It becomes obvious that she is next on the list, and the DCI on the case insists that she study self-defense techniques. Despite her reluctance, she must fight to survive and to keep those she loves safe.

From the dreaming spires of Oxford to the tidal waters of the Solent, Janie must face that the final, deadly chapter has already been written-and it's been written specifically for her.
