Hmm...Yikes...Ouch.
Wow, I don't really have words.
I guess we have entered an era where everything can be published?
This book, felt like it was written during the author's lunch break, while riding home on Public Transit and maybe on the porcelain throne (Basically whenever this she had a spare moment to write down a scene) It was incredibly choppy, and illogical.
--Yikes that was kinda mean--
Just being honest, the story jumped from plot point to plot point, so many red herrings are thrown at the reader that lead no where and are left dangling. When you finally reach the end it is so far out of left field you could never have guessed the ending. Personally I think it is not fair for an author to do that to the reader. You pretty much slog along for 90% of the book being led down dead end after dead end and suddenly WHAM you get hit by a 2 x 4 that you never saw coming.
During the numerous "leads" our main female character who is PI rapidly falls in love with the main suspect of the murder. The insta love was so sudden it didn't make sense. Again these were just scenes and interactions the author conjured up and randomly added them in.
Frankly it was pretty boring and a very weak conclusion.

Sorry but I cannot recommend you read this book.......and there goes my approval for future books by this author.

Thank you netgalley for allowing me to review this advanced copy read of Murder At The College. I was not influenced or paid in exchange for this honest review.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley... thank you!

I was excited to read a murder mystery with a college setting. However, there were several things that kept me from rating it higher. The author would do a good job of setting up a scene, but the follow through was often choppy. Dialogue didn't seem to flow very well. The end was certainly a surprise, out of nowhere. I honestly don't think anyone will figure it out at all, but that's kind of the fun of a mystery- piecing together clues to figure out who dunnit. There were no clues leading up to the ending on this one.

Murder at the College is the story of a female detective. She falls in love with a man - who may just be a killer. She is trying to solve the mystery of the murder of his twin. He insists that she let him work as his partner, but as her search deepens the clues point to her loved one.

The book is engrossing and the mystery interesting enough that it kept me turning the pages.

In this modern-day detective story, an investigator working for a law firm is put to work investigating the murder of a local college theater professor. The case is complicated by her mutual attraction to the law firm's client, the brother of the deceased and most-likely suspect for his murder. Another complication is that the detective leading the police department's investigation has a grudge against Quinn, and has both the motivation and the means to ruin her professional reputation for his own gain.

The plot is entertaining enough but not particularly riveting. The twist near the end felt like it came out of nowhere, and I feel like I probably forgot some details that may have built it up earlier, since I went a week or two at a time not reading the book, though I was interested enough to keep coming back to it. The ending of the book leaves the main character in a somewhat precarious position that will probably make later installments in the series pretty interesting. If the author continues this series, I'll probably make a point to read the sequels.

Murder at the College was strange and a bit disjointed. Two of the main characters fall in love very quickly and plan to get married after barely knowing each other. I enjoy a good love at first sight book but the author told us the couple had a lot of chemistry and not a lot of showing the chemistry. Another big problem was the murderer and his/her problem with the deceased came out of nowhere. Almost felt like the author decided they were done with writing so they plucked a conclusion out of the sky. Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC, in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it had everything that I was hoping for in a thriller novel. It had everything that I was looking for from the description. The characters were everything that I was hoping for and thought they worked in the suspenseful atmosphere. P.H. Turner does a great job in writing this and left me wanting to read more.

I thank the publisher, the author and NetGalley for this ARC. My feedback here is based on my reading of this story.

The title of this book is old fashioned reminded me of the Agatha Christie books. And it stays in the mind true to expectations. This is a a good murder mystery.

I have been taking up reading the works of newer authors (new for me not necessarily debut writers) expanding my bandwidth of writers whose works I read and identifying new favorites. Turner here has put up a well packed novel.

The story follows Quinn Kane's (our protagonist) investigation into a murder. Quinn is an investigator working for a top lawyer who puts her up to investigate the background and murder of a Professor. It all seems clean and above board till she starts reaches the institute and starts finding out about the man, a player of sorts. There is a light romance with the brother of the murder victim, a certified bad boy and possible suspect for the murder. Quinn's attraction could create issues in the investigation with crooked cops a part of the overall picture.
There are suspects galore and help complicate the story. Commend Turner on a well prepared story.

Initially a bit slow but nothing that affected appreciating the story.
Recommended.

Murder at the College was a good murder mystery. It seemed to me more like a procedural type of mystery as we follow Quinn Kane's investigation into the murder. There is a hint of background romance between Quinn and the victim's brother who is also a suspect. A dirty cop puts Quinn's job on the line, too.

Overall it was a well-written enjoyable read, but I will say I don't like the title. it's amateurish, like a file name for a work in progress.

Thank you PH Turner, Wild Rose and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for a review.

I like the title of this book…intrigue and murder…family and friends..do not try to guess too early the ending…red herrings and secrets make that difficult…realistic characters keep this story moving quickly. This talented author has written a page turner. The academic setting adds to the plot…keeping the reader wondering if someone at the college is guilty or?? Thanks Netgalley.

Overall a good murder mystery. Quinn is an investigator for a high powered lawyer in Denver. When she goes to find information after a music professor is killed she has plenty of issues. Finding the killer, dealing with crooked cops, and so on, plus being attracted to the twin brother of the murdered victim, and it is probable he is the murderer too. What is a girl to do? Liked this one, but did wish the romance would have been a bit stronger. Seemed to be mainly physically attracted, which doesn't seem that it would be a solid foundation. Other than that, would recommend this book and author.
