Murder in Disguise By Donn Taylor

Official verdict: Suicide. 

But why would that vigorous department chairman kill himself? To avoid disgrace? Those rumored ventures on the dark side? Some other secret life? Visiting professor Preston Barclay wonders. But his questions bring no answers, only anonymous threats. He has enough problems already, proving himself on a strange campus while radical faculty do all they can to undermine him. Worse yet, that sexy siren assigned as his assistant complicates his courtship of the beautiful Mara Thorn. 

While Press keeps asking questions, Mara's research reveals a cancer of criminal activity that permeates the community and even the campus itself. The more Press questions, the more dangerous the threats against him become, and the more determined he grows to clear his friend's name. 

But can Press and Mara's stumbling efforts prevail against the entrenched forces of the police, the campus radicals, and an unseen but powerful criminal organization that increasingly puts their lives in danger…?

My Thoughts...

 

This is the second book that I have read by Taylor and I am just not a fan of this series for some reason.

I had a very hard time  getting into this book it was slow and all over the place.

I will be honest, I am very funny about a story flowing from the beginning so when it does not I am lost for the rest of the book.

I gave this book 3 stars.
