Unseemly Ambition: A women's college historical murder mystery (The Concordia Wells Mysteries Book 3)

A murderâ€¦a missing boyâ€¦a secret societyâ€™s bold and deadly plotâ€¦

It is 1898, and Professor Concordia Wells has come to expect the hectic routine of classes, clubs, teas, and the inevitable student pranks at the womenâ€™s college. If only she could avoid the cantankerous dean, Randolph Maynard, who has learned about her past experiences as a â€œlady sleuth.â€ To Concordiaâ€™s dismay, he scrutinizes her every move for evidence of unseemly conduct.

The dean will certainly scowl over the lady professorâ€™s behavior when a disastrous turn of events affects those she loves. First, a mysterious woman claims that Concordiaâ€™s young friend, the eleven-year-old Eli, is her long-lost child. Soon after, they find the woman murdered and the boy gone.

Lieutenant Capshaw is given the case, only to be abruptly replaced by a junior associate. An innocuous reassignment, or something more?

Concordia calls upon a former ally, Penelope Hamilton, for help. As they search for the child and untangle the mystery of his motherâ€™s death, Concordia realizes that not even her own colleagues are above suspicion. Not knowing whom at the school to trust as she attempts to side-step Dean Maynardâ€™s continual scrutiny, she must tread carefully. Far more is at risk than the loved ones she seeks to protect, and there is no turning back.
