Laura Murphy, the protagonist of Murder Is Academic lives on this beautiful lake in upstate New York.  She teaches psychology at a local college and looks forward to afternoons relaxing with friends on her dock overlooking the lake, and especially now that she’s fallen hard for a guy who teaches biology and rides a big, ole’ motorcycle.  Unfortunately, the murder of her college’s president turns Laura’s summer into a search for the connections between the murder, pollution of the lake’s waters, and suicide.  The lead detective on the case figures there’s no one getter to help him untangle this mess than his nosy friend Laura who knows everything about everyone at the college. He may be right, but will her knowledge lead her to a solution too late to save her own life and that of her lover?

This is Laura’s first foray into being an amateur sleuth, and it appears she likes it well enough that she’ll want to do it again.  I’m delighted to add her to my other country gals who have taken up solving mysteries.
