Acid Bath

Crimes Against Persons Detective Elena Jarvis is called out when a self-proclaimed “erotic poet” accuses his ex-wife of trying to kill him with an exploding escargot. The more Elena learns about the couple’s defunct marriage, the more her sympathies lie with Sarah, the ex-wife and Chairman of Electrical Engineering at sex-crazed Herbert Hobart University, school for the rich and lame-brained. Then the philandering poet is found floating in his bathtub in an advanced state of decay, and Elena must put her feelings aside and solve the “Acid Bath Murder,” in which forensics reveal some surprising facts about the skeletal remains. It’s more than a case of the bare bones.
