Murder at University Park

About This Audiobook

For fans of My Dark Vanessa and The Secret History, a gripping campus thriller about a determined young professor who challenges a corrupt academic system, confronts a predator in power, and refuses to stay silent—even when her quest turns deadly. A brilliant young professor. A powerful advisor with everything to lose. A university campus hiding deadly secrets. It's 1998, and Dr. Lacey Redd is on the verge of tenure—and under the thumb of her department chair, the arrogant and celebrated Dr. Geoffrey Hart. When Lacey begins to suspect Hart of falsifying his research, she quietly teams up with a tech-savvy colleague to uncover the truth. But before they can break the case, her partner turns up dead in the campus library. As Lacey digs deeper, she uncovers something even darker: Hart has been preying on female graduate students for years. When he attacks her at a department party, Lacey fights back — leaving him injured and exposed. A new department head steps in, and with Hart out of the picture, it seems justice has finally been served. But someone on campus is still watching. And they've decided Lacey knows too much.

About the Author

Greetings fellow readers and writers! I'm excited to launch my first crime fiction novel--quite a shift from the prescriptive nonfiction and YA books I've published as Cheryl Dellasega. Hoping some of you who knew me from my younger days will see Cheryl Miller Dellasega as my author name on Murder at University Park and explore my fiction. Although I write in multiple genres, a constant theme of my work is strong and courageous women overcoming a variety of challenges. My belief in our super relational powers has also led to the creation of Club and Camp Ophelia, offering programs and resources for girls in grades 2-12. Decades of evaluation confirm that learning healthy behaviors at a young age helps! Look forward to connecting with you, either virtually or IRL!

Reviews

I was hooked from the first page of Cheryl Dellasega's thriller, Murder at University Park. Dellasega, an award-winning author of seven non-fiction books, turns her talents in arts and sciences, medicine and psychology, to death by murder in the last place expected. The stakes are high for Professor Lacey Redd, who is beset by a corrupt academic system, the target of a predator who can bring her family down, and the crushing murder of a loving friend who never saw it coming. Give yourself a thrill with this well-crafted story of love and death within the halls of University Park.
