Loretta Lawson is a professor at London University. She's also a feminist theoretician whose curiosity involves her in investigating the deaths of colleagues and assorted acquaintences and strangers whose bodies regularly turn up on or near her doorstep. These are very literate academic mysteries, thoughtfully and densely written.
