For fans of Agatha Christie and Midsomer Murders, A Death at the University is the first book in a new cosy crime series, introducing Sam Wiseman.
Sam Wiseman runs an independent bookshop in the heart of Montreal. He leads a simple life - until the day he apprehends a shoplifter and strikes up an unlikely friendship with Gaston Lemieux, the investigating officer in the case.
Later, when Sam discovers the body of professor Harold Hilliard - a long-time customer of the store - dead in his office at nearby McGill University, clutching a special order form from the bookshop, he is implicated in the murder. With the help of Lemieux, Sam must investigate the murder, and clear his name.
