"Clever, original, and a fun read from start to finish, The Corpse in the Trash Room by author Colette Tajemna showcases her genuine flair as a novelist for the kind of narrative driven 'whodunnit' drama that keeps the reader's total attention from first page to last." --Midwest Book Review

"Witty prose, plenty of suspects, and subtle social commentary make for a winning combination." --The Prairies Book Review

"When a story opens with a wake for a dead hamster that produces a corpse of the human variety, you suspect you're in for a romp. And that's what Colette Tajemna provides in this witty story that is part farce and every bit a satisfying mystery. I laughed as I puzzled out this masterful whodunit." -James H Lewis, author of the Chief Novak series

"Fans of Sarah Caudwell will especially enjoy this clever mystery with its academic setting and subtle wit." -Carolyn Korsmeyer, author of Little Follies: A Mystery at the Millennium

"Funny, and at times nostalgic, author Colette Tajemna balances the sociological examination of a generation and a time with a good, old-fashioned mystery worthy of Agatha Christie-suspect after suspect pinpointed and then cast aside as the students barrel toward a satisfying denouement, wisecracking along the way." -- Steven Mayfield, award winning author of The Penny Mansions and Treasure of the Blue Whale

"Prepare to be captivated as the truth behind this gripping mystery reveals itself in a twist you never saw coming." -- Roslyn Reid, author of A Scandal at Crystalline and The Spiricom
