Meet Stephanie Hart, whose lifetime ambition was realized when she became a best-selling author under the name of Stella Holmes. Husband Quinton is a professor at the local college, teaching English and Comparitive Literature with specialties in cults and the occult. That expertise occasionally has usefulness to the local police, known to consult Professor Hart when unusual things show up in cases. Though neither aspired to be crime solvers, they are drawn into some murder cases when their normally peaceful Georgia college town gets hit by unexpected deaths. Together with Stephanie's Uncle Harry and a few assorted friends and associates, Quinton and Stephanie help solve murder cases in both of the first two installments of the Classic City Murders series. Quirky Stephanie somehow managed to keep her success as an author a secret from her husband until events in the first story, "Partners in Crime," forced her to reveal her identity as author Stella. You'll be turning the pages to find the solution to that "whodunit" and, as a bonus, you'll also get their second adventure in crime solving, "Last Rites," in this book debuting the series.
