Unruly kids, a meddling in-law, and coverups.Can this college prof and harried mom uncoverthe truth behind a string of suspicious deaths?

Spending half her time chasing after two toddlers, the assistant professor hopes her hand-picked student’s practicum with the Metro Police will boost her bid for tenure. But the promising young woman soon loses the position for interfering in a homicide investigation.
When Cara discovers her protégée’s body in similar circumstances, she hunts for a connection while struggling to survive the nasty new dean’s scrutiny. With the help of her sidekick mother-in-law, can Cara chase down the culprit before the next victim lands in the morgue?
