Murder 101

Quick Study: A Murder 101 Mystery by Maggie Barbieri is a fun, quick read in a cozy that is sure to please mystery fans! Full of romance, humor and suspense, the book stars college English Professor Alison Bergeron. Alison begins dating NYPD detective Bobby Crawford, thinking that dating him would be exciting and involve lots of riding around in police cruisers, chasing down criminals and putting away the "bad guys." When a friend asks Alison to help her find his nephew, she eagerly asks Bobby for his advice on how to search for him. Unfortunately, the nephew's body had been pulled out of the Hudson River a few days earlier and Alison and Bobby begin to suspect that his death is not an accident! The plot thickens as Alison and Bobby begin spending a lot of time together trying to solve the case--Alison and Bobby's romance is as much a part of the story as is the murder, and readers who enjoy character development will love watching Alison and Bobby's relationship develop as they race to solve the murder mystery. Quick Study is the third book in this series: the other two are Extracurricular Activities and Murder 101.
