    Another great mystery from the Deadly Miss series, and I think I liked it even better than the first one. I really liked the insight into university life from the perspective of the lecturers and researchers, and the explanations of the chemistry teaches me something as well as the plot entertains me,.

    So in this story, Alicia arrives at the university early to find a dead student. True to form, she starts trying to work out who might be the murderer. Her mistakes are a little less cringe-worthy, so she beginning to learn not to leap to completely outrageous conclusions. She might make a detective yet.

    I didn't even guess whodunnit

    4.0 out of 5 stars A twisty little investigation

    I enjoyed this book. The scientific details that were included gave the story an extra depth that made the amateur sleuth's investigation more realistic. It was great to see the twists and turns as the suspects were identified and then eliminated. The little comments about life in Tasmania were appreciated. It is so nice to read a story set in my own backyard.
    I look forward to reading the next in the series.

    This second story where Alicia becomes involved in finding a murderer had me waiting in anticipation as we got closer to solving the mystery. Ignoring my chores, I couldn't stop until I knew!
