The Freudian Slip Murder
(2023)(The fourth book in the Veronica Walsh Mystery series)
A novel by Jeanne Quigley
Retired soap opera actress Veronica Walsh returns in her latest adventure to solve a psychology professor’s murder and earn a PhD in Amateur Sleuthing.
After professor Derek Morley dies from ethylene glycol poisoning, his wife, history professor Susanna Rafferty, asks Veronica to apply her crime-solving expertise to the investigation. From the college campus to Derek’s neighbor’s kitchen, Veronica receives a warm welcome everywhere she goes, though Derek’s colleagues, students, and friends are more interested in quizzing Veronica about her acting career than in answering her questions about the professor’s death.
Veronica plays both amateur detective and psychologist as she studies the list of suspects and wonders whether the killer’s motive was professional or personal. Did resentment, anger, or a delusion of grandeur lead to Derek’s poisoning?
Readers will cheer for Veronica to finish first in the class in this charming fourth installment of the Veronica Walsh mystery series.
