Frank Malloy's first big case as a private investigator is a murder at a women's college. Abigail Northrup, a former student and current teacher, was found on the grounds of the college with a screwdriver sticking out of her eye. She was known as a "new woman"--a lady who does not need a husband to make her decisions. The police declare the incident a random attack and refuse to investigate. Frank asks Sarah for help in interviewing the lady professors who lived with Abigail. She finds that Abigail had a lot of secrets that she was ready to spill.

As far as mysteries go, I found this one just "OK". I was way ahead of Frank and Sarah in discovering Abigail's many secrets. I also figured out who killed her by the middle of the book. I did enjoy the discussions about the case between Frank, Sarah, Gino and Maeve. I also liked that Sarah's mother was called on once again to lend a hand. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
