Work Information
In the closed world of an elite department, a female professor's death exposes a collision between intellect and prejudice.
An Amanda Cross Kate Fansler mystery, originally titled Death in a Tenured Position. The turmoil that begins when a woman joins a closed English department exposes the sexism and self-protection inside a prestigious university. Kate's investigation proceeds not only by following evidence but also by reading language, institutions, and the behavior of intellectuals, giving the novel its sharp campus-mystery edge.
Review Summaries
-
Readers value the way the novel folds a male-dominated academic atmosphere into a crime story, as well as the satisfaction of seeing Kate solve the case through her own intelligence. Some find the real interest less in puzzle mechanics than in institutional pressure and witty conversation.
-
The book tends to resonate strongly with readers who enjoy intellectual campus dialogue and a feminist perspective, while those looking for surprise and suspense may experience it as a quieter mystery.
