About this listen
A stalker. A liar. A dead man.
A mysterious letter-writer causes havoc on the idyllic Bader University campus. After a professor receives numerous poison pen letters more and more threatening in nature, Josie Tucker is on the case...grudgingly.
All the grumpy food blogger wants is to be left in peace with her dog, her man, and her laptop. She certainly doesn't need her own gang of meddling kids. Now, she's the leader of their pack.

Josie Tucker is in a pickle. She's a rising food critic in the blogosphere, but she can't eat. Her testy stomach is always in knots - is it anxiety, a food allergy, or something else?

Story
Mel can sense the blood beating through her companions' veins. She can count the moments between heartbeats to tell who is sincere and who is lying. She can make herself stronger for short periods of time, heal small wounds on her body, and manipulate light to change her appearance subtly. These abilities are useful skills for a Mask - a preternaturally sensitive, cloaked and imposing, impartial arbitrator, both revered and feared by everyone.

As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: A liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead...yet.

Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges.

A found a new series and a new narrator!
I enjoy mystery books that have great suspense, good writing, and are light and funny with a hint of darkness. I have exhausted Molly Harper books, Diana Rowland books and Jesse Petesen books. Those books all have a supernatural twist (although Harper's Rythm and Bluegrass series is normal). This series is very comparable to those minus the supernatural. The author is witty and the plot is fun. It is well-written with great suspense and a satisfying ending. The character are well-developed and likable. The narrator is excellent and a perfect match for the main character. She performs each of the other characters with aplomb.
The strength of this book is the original plot idea and the situational comedy. Having an adult go undercover to a university and live in the dorms provides for hilarious situations. It is made believable by the fact that a large donor requests that Josie be assigned to the case and that she is a licensed, if inexperienced private detective. The way colleges cover up crimes (rape, theft, corruption) is well-known, so this is very believable.
The main character is a lovable but grouchy character--the kind of role usually reserved for men like Al Bundy, Jay Pritchett (same guy, updated character), Archie Bunker, Frazier and Walter Mattau. She is like Sue Slyvester in Glee but nicer. Her old friends and the new friends that she forms into a "Scobbie" sort of gang are delightful. One of the funniest scenes is when she realizes that her college crew isn't familiar with the "Scobbie Doo" show and one of the kids refers to Shaggy as a hipster. He doesn't know the difference between a hipster and a real hippy. Later in the conversation, it is revealed that they are confusing "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with "Twilight." Josie responds by requiring that they all come over to a mandatory "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" binge watching session at the conclusion of the case because she is worried about their lack of cultural knowledge. This is a great book.
I received this book for free from the author, narrator, or pubisher in exchange for an honest review.

Dead Man on Campus
Dead Man on Campus
: EM Kaplan
After finishing this novel, I discovered it is the third in the Josie series. I have not read the first two. Thus said, I didn't have any reference point to understand Josie.
A "maybe P.I." goes undercover on a college campus to find out who is stalking a professor. There are plenty of twists and turns and suspense, toss in romance and young adult drama, mix well..........ta da........a fun listen.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Kate Warner was enjoyable to listen to.

Fun and mayhem!
snark-fest, women-sleuths, mystery
What fun! Twentynine year old Josie getting planted as an undergrad doesn't sound too bad, but she has to live in a freshman dorm! The timing of this assignment is very unfortunate, but she does feel obligated to help find the professor's stalker. A couple of conventional students become her "Scooby Gang" and more madness ensues. The plot is well crafted and the characters certainly are, and the laughs are as entertaining as the suspense! Great light reading.
Kate Warner is absolutely perfect for this! She's got the chirpy and the snarky down to a science.

Fun Listen!
I found this book book to be a fun listen. The premise was original. I enjoyed the humor in this book. This is a standalone listen and part of a series. I have not listened to any other books by this author yet, but I like her writing style. I do not like to give away spoilers in my reviews or write a synopsis either. I liked how the narrator was able to perform various characters. I requested a review copy of this audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I would definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Fun!
I recognized the character as soon as I started listening but not the authors name. Years ago I read one of her Josie Tucker mysteries. They're fun, light-hearted and entertaining. Josie is a blogger with a food obsession and a penchant for solving mysteries. She's brought in to solve a mystery on a college campus as a student.
Josie is a memorable character and a spit fire.Her life and mind revolve around food which oddly enough it what helps her solve the mystery. While posing as a student she meets a variety of students who add a colorful array to the cast. The story is fast paced and an easy listen that kept me laughing.

Dorm Life Revisited
If you like funny with your mysteries, this is a book for you. The horrors of dorm living (at least mine wasn't co-ed!) were brought back to ghoulish life; and campus food? I lost 30 lbs. my freshman year (regrettably all long since reacquired but let's not go there). This tale is the third in the series although only the first I've read, and there are lots of references to the prior capers but the story stands alone quite nicely. Rounding out the goodness, I enjoyed the clear narration and vocalizations of Kate Warner on the AUDIO version.
