An academic mystery starring the new breed of professor who loves traditional English Lit (her subject), but otherwise is thoroughly modern. From a blue-collar family, she was a mother at 19 and by 39 was a professor at prestigious Enfield College. That journey gives her unusual empathy with the misfits at Enfield but doesn't protect her from having a crush on the university's upper-crust president. It all gets involved when she winds up smack in the middle of an "unfortunate event," murder to you and me.
