A touch of nostalgia, a murder, and good friends.

When a former colleague is implicated in his neighbor’s demise, Sheridan Hendley returns to Cold Creek to prove his innocence. Annoying as Max can be, she can’t imagine the quirky professor is capable of murder. Unfortunately, not everyone shares her opinion. Of course, it doesn’t help that Max threatened his neighbor in a public place soon before the man was murdered. Or that the victim’s drug shipments had a habit of turning up on Max’s doorstep.

Where I'm headed in my life is to becoming a psychology professor at a community college and a university. The thought of me going into academia was a total surprise to me, especially since I didn't perform to well in school and never liked school. Once I got into UCI and saw professors lecturing though, I thought it was amazing that they had their own stage and everyone was watching them. My goal is to have my own stage and give a great performance for all of my lectures.

My Thoughts


Old Friends and New, Another Murder by Christa Nardi has Professor Sheridan Hendley helping former colleague and quirky professor, Max beat a murder wrap.  Max had a loud argument with the victim before his death and he has been less helpful with Detective Brett McMann and Detective James Farby.  Can Sheridan help locate the killer?  Old Friends and New, Another Murder is the third novel in A Sheridan Hendley Mystery series.  I believe it is best if the series is read in order.  I had not had the opportunity to read the first two books and I felt I was missing information.  Old Friends and New, Another Murder is easy to read with friendly characters.  I like the university setting which is unusual for a cozy mystery.  We get a glimpse at faculty life and the work a Visiting Assistant Professor (Sheridan’s position) does at Millicent College.  Max Bentley is a quirky science professor who is very protective of his work.  I can see why the police suspected him.  The mystery relates back to a previous crime Sheridan and her husband, Detective Brett McMann investigated.  It seems that drugs at high school and college campuses are a problem in the area.  I like how Brett and Sheridan work together and share information.  He appreciates her assistance and input.  I was happy that the mystery was completely wrapped up by the end of the book.  It is nice that Sheridan has a good relationship with her stepdaughter, Maddie who is in high school.  Sheridan volunteers at Clover Hills Pets & Paws (dog rescue).  I like that this was featured in the story.  I wanted to adopt all the animals.  Old Friends and New, Another Murder is a charming story with adorable animals, choral chaos, drug delinquencies, a peculiar professor, and matrimonial merriment.
