It just doesn't add up ... When Alicia's lab mate dies, there's something about the official story that doesn't make sense. She doesn't have time to look into it though, she has only two weeks to finish a paper, prepare a seminar, and ace a job interview. But her questions about the death are bugging her, and her concentration isn't helped by her new friend Martha doing a bit of 'Miss Marpling'. And then Alicia herself comes under suspicion. Enjoy the twists and turns of this new cosy mystery set in the beautiful sandstone buildings of Sydney University. 'Great story ... Had to keep reading to see whodunit!!''The Martha-Alicia moments were so soothing, like the granny scenes from a Miyazaki anime.''Lots of clever red herrings! I was hooked ...'
