Carl Burns is a faculty member of the English department at a small Baptist College in Texas. It’s a quiet and mostly satisfying life and one that Carl enjoys. But, when a contentious Dean is murdered, Carl finds himself involved in the investigation, making life a lot more interesting.

The late Bill Crider was also a teacher at a community college in Texas. With his firsthand knowledge of academic politics and armed with his trademark sense of humor, One Dead Dean is a gentle and delightful read. Filled with a variety of characters, subtle humor, and a good mystery, this is a book that is quite entertaining.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book for review.

I've heard of Bill Crider, but had never read him. So this was my introduction. Wish I had started earlier. Great characters, great story, great pacing. Could hardly put it down. Will definitely be picking up more books from Bill Crider. #OneDeadDean #NetGalley

This book had suspense, intrigue, action, and a decent storyline! This book flower nicely, and is definitely worth reading, but its not one of my top favorites?! I don't know ,my mind wandered at times and it didn't have me on the edge of my seat. I will still recommend it as its worth reading just not one of my top favorites! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
