2 posts
A gripping novel of politics, academia, and murder Assistant professor Nan Weaver, an outspoken feminist, is working toward tenure at Berkeley. Nan’s blue-collar family left her with a legacy of endurance and hard work, and she is dedicated to her ideals and her students. But Nan’s bold campaign against on-campus sexual harassment may be putting her career prospects in jeopardy. When an infamously chauvinistic male English professor turns up dead in his office, everyone suspects activist Nan. But she is innocent. And she knows who the murderer is. A fast-paced, nontraditional mystery that places a strong woman in a battle for her innocence and principles, Murder in the English Department is a must-read for academics and mystery lovers alike.

My library informs me that it's crime fiction month so I've just added the tagged book to my already long reading list for the month. I'm not a huge crime reader and I need to get to some Agatha Christie obviously but I'm going to do a @bookriot get booked at you all and ask what crime fiction would you recommend for the literary fiction minded?

First three on the bottom are library books, top three are charity shop finds. The tagged book had a relevant #metoo feel to it. Chauvinist professor turns up dead, the campus feminist who's campaigning against sexual harassment comes under scrutiny. From the blurb she sounds like a character we don't often get and I'm excited for this. Some #ownvoices #diversereads and some comics for #womenincomics I'm super chuffed with this haul
