Richard King 
A Death at the University 
A classic murder mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie

Murder, mystery and books. For fans of Agatha Christie and M.C.Beaton, A Death at the University is the first book in a new murder mystery series.



Sam Wiseman owns a cosy bookshop in the heart of Montreal, and has a particular love for detective novels. He leads a simple life, where the only mysteries are the ones he reads about in books. Until now.



When Sam discovers the body of a professor at the nearby university, he becomes part of the investigation, and not for the reason he’d hoped. Forming an unlikely friendship with Detective Gaston Lemieux, Sam sets out to follow the clues and find the truth.



Because Sam wants to do more than just clear his own name. He wants to solve the case . . .
