<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>ACADEMICS CAN BE MURDER</strong></p><p><strong>With two brilliant women scientists awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry for discovering a gene-editing tool, this is a timely entertaining mystery with updates from genetic research scientists in the afterword. </strong></p><p><br></p><p>Skirting forty and appalled by the prospect of slip-sliding into middle-age, Aggie Mundeen blasts off to<strong> </strong>the local university to study the genetics of aging and provide youthful hints for readers of her column, "Stay Young with Aggie." She is doggedly determined to stay young. Despite conflicts with her professor, she learns about genetics and DNA. When she discovers a dead professor, the San Antonio detective urges her to avoid the investigation. But dangerously curious and programmed to prod, she races to solve the crime, flusters the academics, winds up prime suspect and is on target to become next campus corpse.</p><p> <strong> </strong></p><p><strong>SHORT LIST: CHANTICLEER INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS</strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Smart, But Dead</em> is the perfect combination of brains and heart. A tight mystery, an irrepressible heroine, and superb writing.</p><p>_ James W. Ziskin, 2015 Anthony-Award and Lefty Award Finalist for <em>No Stone Unturned</em></p><p> </p><p><em>Smart, But Dead</em> features an impetuous, warm-hearted heroine, blessed with an insatiable curiosity, passion for learning and an unquenchable zest for life._ <em>Mystery People</em></p><p> </p><p>Columnist Aggie Mundeen spends much of her time fighting off impending middle age. Taking a seminar with her friend Meredith on the science of aging puts her on the spot when Dr. Kermit Carmody keels over after class. Then things get really weird. The third book in a cute cozy series (<em>Fit To Be Dead; Dang Near Dead</em>) features an appealing heroine with a self-deprecating wit and a determination to never grow old. _<em>Library Journal</em> </p><p> </p><p>I have just finished reading the best cozy mystery - the one I wished I had written. Having spent most of my career on the college campus, I have noticed the many opportunities for murder on the college campus - faculty killing faculty, students, or administrators; students killing faculty or students; administrators killing .... you get the point. Nancy G. West has done it well. _Upstate New York reader</p><br>
