Bøger i Doro Banyon Historical Mysteries serien

College librarian Doro Banyon discovers the body of her nemesis, Professor Hemet Corlon, near the card catalogues when she arrives for work. Evidence points to a terrible accident, but the new school security officer disagrees. Because Doro and Corlon have been at odds over the status of women at the formerly all-male school, she falls under suspicion-and she isn't alone. Most professors and students supported women's suffrage and welcomed coeducation, so they stand steadfast against the old-fashioned ideas of Corlon and his handful of powerful cronies. More than one person wanted to see an end to the professor and his ilk. But who made his departure permanent? In seeking answers, Doro joins forces with her best friend to solve the mystery of the catalogued corpse. Go back in time to 1920s small town Ohio and join amateur sleuth Doro Banyon, along with her team of intriguing individuals, to crack cases and bring justice.

Travel back to small-town America during the Roaring Twenties and join Doro Banyon, college librarian and amateur sleuth, as she sets her sights on solving another murder. As the fall semester ends, Doro's hands are full as a professor, librarian, and volunteer. She looks forward to planning and celebrating her hometown's annual Christmas festivities, but her enthusiasm is tested when the chairwoman's dictatorial ways create dissension among the committee members. Dissension soon turns to malice, and threats fly among the matron and several others. When she is found dead, unsettling questions arise-and so do longstanding grudges. Who caused the woman's fatal fall from a ladder? After the chairwoman's handyman disappears, anxiety escalates among townsfolk. Doro and her best friend, Aggie, along with two local lawmen, work together to investigate. Can they catch the killer in time to save the holiday celebration? Or will others fall victim to the perpetrator?
