"Berkley Prime Crime mystery" -- Spine.
Winter Intersession is in full swing, and campus is buzzing over the concert celebrating the bell tower's reopening. The building has been shuttered for twenty-five years, and Sophie is shocked to learn why. A student leapt from it to her death. But she's even more troubled by the secrecy surrounding the case. After Sophie performs some quick calculations, she's left with a nagging question: Was it really suicide? When one of Sophie's favorite students, a performer in the concert, is brutally beaten and left in a coma, Sophie's mind kicks into overdrive. The horrific incidents seem too coincidental to be unrelated, but can Sophie put together the pieces from a twenty-five-year-old murder before any other students get hurt?

Hate math - like this series! submitted by evalyn1600 on August 4, 2014, 9:26am I picked up this book on a lark (I was finishing a very painful algebra class), and I really liked the main character and how she wanted to help people understand math. It gave me an appreciation for my instructor - even if I still don't like math :) Good mystery too.
