Book of Interest: History Lessons

With the state of this country and the world, I feel like you have to find moments of joy wherever and whenever you can. And right now, mine is finding books that I would like to read. A recently released book that I'm interested in reading is, History Lessons by Zoe B. Wallbrook. It's a mystery set in the world of academia that follows Professor Daphne Ouverture trying to solve the murder of Professor Sam Taylor. And according to the description it appears the killer is also after her because they believe she has something they want. This seems like an interesting read.

I'm surprised that there have been so many new or upcoming books that I want to read. Because sometimes there just doesn't seem to be any books that interest me. But so far, I've been finding a lot, which I will be posting.

Book: History Lessons by Zoe B. Wallbrook

Description:

A college history professor must solve her superstar colleague's murder before she becomes the next target in this funny, romantic debut mystery, perfect for readers of Janet Evanovich, Kellye Garrett, and Ali Hazelwood.

As a newly minted junior professor, Daphne Ouverture spends her days giving lectures on French colonialism, working on her next academic book, and going on atrocious dates. Her small world suits her just fine. Until Sam Taylor dies.

The rising star of Harrison University’s anthropology department was never one of Daphne’s favorites, despite his popularity. But that doesn’t prevent Sam’s killer from believing Daphne has something that belonged to Sam—something the killer will stop at nothing to get.

Between grading papers and navigating her disastrous love life, Daphne embarks on her own investigation to find out what connects her to Sam’s murder. With the help of an alluring former-detective-turned-bookseller, she unravels a deadly cover-up on campus.

This well-crafted, voice-driven mystery introduces an unforgettable crime fiction heroine.
