Community College Mysteries #2

by L.M. Harper

Summer has come to East Syracuse, Indiana, and Miranda Vincent is enjoying the peaceful break between semesters. Campus is quiet and even Miranda’s assistant is working hard to prepare for fall classes. As the 4th of July draws near, Miranda is looking forward to setting off some fireworks of her own with a handsome local police officer. But the peace and quiet won’t last long.

When Laura Levinson, the town curmudgeon, is found dead in her home, the police assumed she killed herself. Laura’s personal assistant, Dorothy Mitchell, knows the woman would never have taken her own life. Dorothy asks Miranda to help convince the police to investigate, but their request backfires when Dorothy is arrested for her boss’s murder.

Miranda knows Dorothy is innocent, but the police seem confident they’ve found the killer. Can Miranda find the real killer and clear her friend’s name?

Great sequel to Sinister Sort! Fun series in a great setting with interesting characters. The mystery that went unsolved in Sinister Sort is investigated further in this book, along with the main mystery. We also meet some sweet new characters (and some evil new villains!) I'm looking forward to the third book in the series!

I am really loving the series and hope this is one that continues for a long time. I really enjoyed the story line which has a tie in to the first book because Hadley's mother is the one arrested for murder.
There are a couple of side stories that just filled the book out nicely.
I love Miranda as the main character and all the side characters who are Miranda's group of friends and her co-workers. Now there is a love triangle and I just want to mash the two guys into one for Miranda. Valenti who gives her sparks but treats her terribly but Brad is so nice and sweet but doesn't give her sparks. I will have to wait and see in hopefully book 3.
