About this ebook

College English professor and sometime amateur sleuth Alison Bergeron would've been thrilled to hear that her husband, NYPD Detective Bobby Crawford, was leaving Homicide if that were the whole story, but it turns out that Bobby's next assignment is even worse---undercover. As if worrying about his involvement in a case he won't talk about at all wasn't bad enough, Alison is forced to take over the women's basketball team at St. Thomas after the coach dies of a heart attack during a game. She may not know much about basketball, but she's no stranger to sleuthing, and it isn't long before she suspects that the coach's death may be more than unexpected but premeditated as well.

With Bobby deep undercover and Alison always on her way to deep trouble, it's only a matter of time before they run smack into each other in Physical Education, the latest in Maggie Barbieri's charming Murder 101 mystery series.

    I really enjoy this series. The characters are well drawn and interesting, and the protagonist, Alison, has witty dialogue with a tendency towards dry wit and sarcasm - both qualities I enjoy in my heroines.

    The plot in this 6th book was a bit convoluted and chaotic, and I felt like the author could have blended all the elements of the mystery better throughout the book, although everything was explained in the end satisfactorily. I must also admit I refused to put the book down and go to sleep until I finished it, which might have some bearing on my feeling of confusion towards the end.

    I hope there will be more books in this series to look forward to, as I haven't really read a bad one yet.

    In Barbieri’s mystery novel, newly married English professor Alison Bergeron stumbles upon a corpse in her car. The victim was a recent mailroom hire at the college and seemed nice enough. As the police investigate they learn that he was actually a foot soldier for the local mob. What disturbs Alison the most is why was he placed in her car? Alison’s life gets more complicated when the girl’s basketball coach dies and she is recruited to replace him. With Alison’s suspicious nature in hand, coupled with the mysterious things going around campus, she just can’t keep herself from starting her own investigation into the crime.A strong addition to A Murder 101 Mystery series.

    Being a professor at a small college affords English professor Alison Bergeron the chance to wear many hats. Alison is now married to the "hot" detective Crawford, and still manages to find a body in the trunk of her car. This leads to a stint as the coach of St. Thomas' D III women's basketball team, as well as some sleuthing on the side. This turns out to be the sixth Murder 101 mystery and I have really enjoyed them all. Maggie Barbieri really captures the ins and outs of this small college campus with a great character in Alison and good secondary characters that I always like to hear more about.
