Maggie Summer's life is full. She has three loves in her life: her antique print business, her career as a community college professor, and the new man in her life. She loves using the antique prints to illustrate her lectures on American cultural history.

When a special dormitory is built for single parents and their children, Maggie is thrilled to become the faculty advisor to the young parents—until one of the young mothers is poisoned. There is a killer on campus, but is it an outsider or someone Maggie knows and trusts? Does someone want to destroy Whitcomb House or the college? As always, Maggie finds the answers to her questions in the antique prints she knows and loves. And this time, torn between her own needs and those of her students, the most important discoveries Maggie makes are about herself.

      In Agatha nominee Wait's third enjoyable antique print mystery (after 2003's Shadows on the Coast of Maine
      ), professor, antique print dealer and part-time sleuth Maggie Summer gets embroiled in an on-campus murder. Somerset County College, thanks to wealthy benefactors Dorothy and Oliver Whitcomb, is experimenting with a new dormitory designed to house single parents and their children. During a party at the Whitcombs' house, one of the students is poisoned, and as student adviser for the dorm residents, Maggie takes great interest in the case. When another student is murdered, Maggie digs even harder to get at the truth. Who could possibly have a motive to harm these struggling students? Are the Whitcombs as benevolent as they seem, or do they each have ulterior motives that could prove sinister? Maggie is hard put to juggle her teaching duties (during lectures she uses antique prints to illustrate American history) with her detecting. While it has little to do with the plot, Wait's knowledge of antique prints and American culture will entertain and educate readers.
