Publisher's Summary:

A gripping novel of politics, academia, and murder

Assistant professor Nan Weaver, an outspoken feminist, is working toward tenure at Berkeley. Nan's blue-collar family left her with a legacy of endurance and hard work, and she is dedicated to her ideals and her students.

But Nan's bold campaign against on-campus sexual harassment may be putting her career prospects in jeopardy. When an infamously chauvinistic male English professor turns up dead in his office, everyone suspects activist Nan. But she is innocent. And she knows who the murderer is.

A fast-paced, nontraditional mystery that places a strong woman in a battle for her innocence and principles, Murder in the English Department is a must-listen for academics and mystery lovers alike.

Marks the start of a great writer's career

This book was a great surprise to me years ago when feminism was considered radical and scary by much of society. Miner used the format of mystery to tell a story about women's rights as well as revealing what is often the paradigm for the way women are treated in the university setting. Her writing style reveals the tip of the iceberg to a body of work that deeply influenced me. It's great to reread it over 30 years later and see the seeds of her writing.
