The organizers have rustled up plenty of surprises for the literary conference at Tattered Star Ranch. But the murder of an influential scholar wasn’t on the program—someone has clearly taken the theme of Malice in the Mountains to heart. This shocking crime is only the beginning: Other dangers and deceptions are soon revealed.
English professor Lila Maclean has a full agenda: She must convince a press to publish her book (possibly), ace her panel presentations (hopefully), and deal with her nemesis (regrettably).
However, when Detective Lex Archer requests Lila’s academic expertise, she agrees to consult on the case. While her contributions earn high marks from her partner, it could be too late; the killer is already taking aim at the next subject.
As Lila races to keep her colleagues alive, publish or perish takes on new meaning.

Mallory Heart's Cozies Review:
As a professor, author Cynthia Kuhn knows the ins and outs of Academia first-hand, and shares that knowledge with us in her Lila MacLean Academic Mysteries. In THE SUBJECT OF MALICE, Lila attends a specialty conference in Horror & Gothic, squares off with her professional bete noir, worries over publication of her scholarly work on the little known mystery author Isabella Dare, undergoes a crisis in her 18-month relationship with a police detective; and of course ramps up into sleuth mode as mysterious killings at the conference commence.  



THE SUBJECT OF MALICE is an engaging cozy mystery set in the  Rockies that will leave readers feeling well satisfied, indeed.
