Publisher's Synopsis
LEFTY AWARD NOMINATED SERIES "Hurrah for Aggie Mundeen, an effervescent heroine who finds trouble wherever she goes even when the initial pursuit is purely intellectual. Aggie's pluck, humor, intelligence and loving heart will always keep her young and always make readers smile." - Carolyn Hart, Agatha Award-Winning Author of Ghost to the Rescue "Smart. Aggie Mundeen is smart. But. But she's also a little clumsy, irrepressible, and irresistible. Dead. She might well end up dead if she continues nosing around the university where her questions are not wanted. Smart, But Dead is the perfect combination of brains and heart. A tight mystery, an irrepressible heroine, and superb writing." - James W. Ziskin, Anthony Award-Finalist of No Stone Unturned "Smart, But Dead features an impetuous, warm-hearted heroine, blessed with an insatiable curiosity, passion for learning and an unquenchable zest for life." - Mystery People "Will keep you guessing until the last page.
