Book Description

Publication Date: April 2007

WHAT DOES A BLONDE GET ON HER INTELLIGENCE TEST?

DROOL.

Ace cub reporter Tressa Jayne Turner is carrying a full load--and we’re not talking post-holiday pounds. Back in college for the fourth time (but who’s counting!?), she’s also looking to nab a raise from her stingy boss at the Gazette, Stan. So, what’s to stop her from making the grade—besides the old “dog ate my homework” story, that is?

• A wrinkled roommate rekindling an old flame

• Maid of honor madness run amok

• A botched betrothal that’s more than just schoolyard gossip

• One man who likes her for herself and another who wants to save her from herself

• And a campus criminal out to teach the student body a lesson—one one crime at a time


It’s a case of murder and mayhem by the books...

and failure is so not an option.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Amateur detective and aspiring journalist Tressa "Calamity" Jayne Turner returns for her fourth novel (after Ghouls Just Want to Have Fun), in which she goes back to school, hunts for a campus criminal and finds more trouble than a drunk coed with daddy's car. Enrolling in college for the fourth time, Tressa's looking to get a real degree in journalism and just maybe a raise at the Grandville Gazette. Unfortunately, Tressa isn't a great student, just squeaking by in her Carson College classes until the final project in her investigative journalism class, coupled with a string of unsolved campus crimes, lights a fire under her barely passing bum. Thanks to her cousin Frank and his fiancée, Dixie (Tressa's least favorite person and a hilarious foil), she might have her story: Frank's theory points to someone in his criminal law class. Of course, it's not nearly that simple, and Tressa finds that her investigation may lead to a fate worse than failing. Funny and endearing, with enough side characters and plots to keep the pages turning—Tressa's maid-of-honor duties, conflicting crushes and her live-in grandma's hot new beau—Bacus's book is another crowd-pleaser; fans of Janet Evanovich will see shades of Stephanie Plum in this spunky Iowa sleuth.
