Reviews
Praise for the first Karen Pelletier mystery,Quieter Than Sleep: "Deftly balancing its literary and mystery elements, Dobson's debut sparkles with wit and insight into college politics. Readers academic and otherwise will look forward to the next adventure of smart and scrappy Karen Pelletier." --Publishers Weekly "Anyone who thinks that the word 'academic' is synonymous with 'detached' needs to read Professor Dobson's tale of seething passions and deadly animosities within the English Department of Enfield College." --Laurie R. King "A genuinely good read." --Time Out New York

Synopsis
An ill wind blows through the groves of academe as English professor Karen Pelletier becomes embroiled in her second homicide investigation--in this sequel to the Agatha Award-nominatedQuieter Than Sleep. As the case progresses, Professor Pelletier--intrepid researcher, defender of women's rights, and soldier on the front lines of the fight for academic progress--finds herself doing battle not only with an unknown killer but also with her own department chair; being threatened by the president of the board of trustees; and falling victim to the aristocratic charms of her college president. Any one of these peccadilloes, she realizes, might easily spell academic death to an untenured member of the faculty. And, in an ironic twist on the old professorial adage, it begins to look as if Karen's determination to publish (the biography of a woman whose writing her colleagues look upon as trash) might actually cause her to perish--professionally, and perhaps in the decidedly non-metaphoric sense as well. Joanne Dobson's first novel,Quieter Than Sleep,introduced feisty young Professor Pelletier, the political battle at prestigious Enfield College, and a cast of memorable characters from outrageous academics to local police. WithThe Northbury Papers,Dobson provides an even more intricate mystery, and a sputtering cauldron of academic warfare that will delight old fans and win her a host of new ones, too.
