A Gift for Murder (Peggy O'Neill) Author:M. D. Lake
Book Description:
The discovery of Cameron Harris's body has stunned the university. But some members of The Tower Writers' Collective are more than a bit relieved that the poison pen of the bestselling author has been silenced. Tamara Meade, the Tower's headstrong leader, has a history with the writer she'd just as soon keep secret. Poetess Melody Carr has plenty to hide -- and a jealous husband as well. In fact, the suspect list reads like a Who's Who at the university, and campus cop Peggy O'Neill is making it her business to find out who is this elite crowd of authors and academics has resorted to censorship through murder.

This isn't the best, or even close to the best, mystery I've ever read - but it IS good, and it's worth a read. It's not hard to keep up with Peggy, or to see what's coming before it arrives, but this is a good book to curl up with when even thinking about doing anything more serious just makes you tired.
Peggy O'Neill, apparently permanently single campus cop, meets a new man, makes new friends and finds her second corpse, all within walking distance of work. There's no shortage of people who might have liked to off Cameron Harris, a writer with little nice to say about anyone - even his "friends". Peggy needs to stop the killer before the death toll rises, and before SHE becomes the next victim!
Good fluff!

Peggy O'Neill makes a good break from cooking & B&B mysteries. Great for those who like the academic ones.
