A Handful of Worldliness

 

A Handful of Worldliness is the third book.  Set in the world of television home-shopping, it takes its title from Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, and examines the grasping and destructive power of narcissism.   When the murders lead back to Edwina’s college, she becomes very unsettled, indeed.

Death By Hitchcock

 

The second book is Death By Hitchcock.  This murder investigation centers around the Film Studies Department at Edwina’s College, and steeps itself in an homage to classic film.

Physics Can Be Fatal

 

Physics Can Be Fatal is the first book in the series, and involves a murder in Edwina’s own Physics & Astronomy Department.  Feeling partly responsible for the death of a celebrity colleague, Edwina inserts herself into the investigation.  She turns out to be so deft at connecting the dots and clues of the case, Detective William Tenney increasingly turns to her for help.
