The Corpse in the Trash Room is a quirky cozy mystery that follows a group of college students who stumble upon the body of their creepy dorm preceptor, found slumped over a trash can—right as they're attempting a makeshift burial for a friend’s hamster.

Keith narrates the story as he and his friends navigate campus, questioning potential suspects—all while juggling the chaos of college life.

The setting feels rooted in the late '70s or early '80s, thanks to several nostalgic Easter eggs sprinkled throughout. I will also recommend this book to an older audience who'll likely appreciate and connect with the throwback references.

I also want to add that Keith’s narration and the writing style reminded me a lot of Sheldon from Young Sheldon. I found myself reading the entire book in Sheldon’s voice, which made the experience even more entertaining and fun.

Overall a good interesting read!!

Thank you Netgalley & Victory Editing for the Arc! 💖

Unfortunately, this is a DNF for me. The prose is overly flowery and pretentious and I couldn’t get into the story.
