Joanne Dobson is an English professor, having taught at Amherst College and Tufts University. So it makes sense that she writes mystery novels centered around a college English professor, Karen Pelletier.
In the latest Karen Pelletier mystery, “Death Without Tenure,” Pelletier is about to get a tenured position at her university when her rival for that spot turns up dead.
