When Michelle Kilpatrick, a college sophomore, and her friends from the university’s Commuter Lounge are thrust into a wave of murders happening in their small community, she is determined—with their help— to uncover the truth, which runs far deeper and darker than she ever imagined.
The first two books in the YA cozy mystery series are:
Book One: THE PECULIAR CASE OF THE PETERSBURG PROFESSOR
It’s 1974, and Michelle Kilpatrick has her hands full trying to keep her mother happy while studying journalism at the University of Petersburg. The fall quarter gets more complicated when Michelle’s grades drop thanks to the demanding Professor Ladd, who believes Michelle should be more like the already-published Craig Miller. But when Michelle discovers the professor’s dead body during office hours, grades are the least of her worries. With the help of her friends from the Commuter Lounge, Michelle sets out to clear her name and soon realizes Craig may be the key to unlocking the mystery around Professor Ladd’s murder. But is the truth a story worth dying for?

Book Two: FASHIONABLY FIT, FATALLY FLAWED
University of Petersburg sophomore Michelle Kilpatrick and her friends from the Commuter Lounge start their Christmas break by celebrating the opening of the Petersburg Fitness Center. But when a fatal accident brings the festivities to an end and the owner—their friend’s mother—is faced with a wrongful death lawsuit, they spring into action.
Michelle is convinced that the treadmill malfunctioning was more than an accident, but when she teams up with mystery writer Craig Miller, she not only discovers proof of foul play but gets caught in a tangled web of betrayal and deception.
