Heather Day Gilbert: Hidden Secrets on Campus, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

An abandoned greenhouse. A missing student. And an Agatha Christie book club that just might crack a decades-old crime.

At the latest meeting of the Christie Club, hosted by English professor Jo Blue Oliver and her daughter, Millie, Agatha Christie's Nemesis is on the menu---along with delicious treats and fascinating revelations about a real-life cold case in their West Virginia college town.

Jo's mother, Viola, shares the story of a young theater major named Delilah, who disappeared in the 1980s. A nursing home resident claimed she saw a mysterious figure dragging a rolled-up rug. Was Delilah's body inside? Jo Blue can't resist a cliffhanger like that, especially when there's a chance to finally catch a killer and see justice done.

As Jo digs into old news articles and visits the nursing home for clues, a new mystery emerges. College president Riley Coffman---the man Jo is developing complicated feelings for---discovers threatening notes in his home. The messages are disturbing enough, but how did the culprit get inside? Though the two mysteries are separated by decades, they may be connected---by an old campus greenhouse that's slated for demolition.

Just as the cold case resurfaces, so does a web of deadly resentment---along with a killer who thought their perfect crime would stay buried forever...
