Reader reviews for Deadly Professors: A Faculty Development Mystery

From the publisher

Despite flecks of the victim's blood and what looked like part of an eyebrow, one could make out the letters etched in an artistic, painstaking script that formed the killer's message:
Hippocrite

"Great. A perp who can't spell," said Jarvis.
"So you think it's a student?"

Professor Roland Norris has been murdered in the early morning hours on the grounds of Vlkommen University, and the discovery of the crime sets the scene for Thomas Jones' new campus mystery.

As two more murders rattle the university, St. Paul detectives LeRon Jarvis and Robert Phan increasingly focus on the victims' connections to Jack Ramble, professor of literature and chair of the department.

Are the crimes motivated by academic rivalries or the university's finances? A frantic golf cart chase down the 10th fairway of the East Oaks Country Club finally reveals all...

As with Thomas Jones' previous academic mystery, The Missing Professor, this book is a parody of the mystery genre and campus life, but with a serious purpose.

In 26 entertaining and succinct chapters, the story line raises such issues as the nature of today's college students, faculty roles and responsibilities, mid-career concerns, the purpose of liberal education, racial diversity, micro-aggression, inclusive teaching, technology and learning, politics and the classroom, active learning, the role of sports in higher education, and academic freedom, to name but a few.

This book will enliven, and ensure spirited discussion at any orientation, workshop, or faculty development activity.
