Finally—what the world has been crying out for: a murder mystery about Classics. Because when people ask the question “Why isn’t anyone writing gripping thrillers set in a university department that argues about papyri?”—this book answers it.

Magnolia, a Classics grad student, wanted a quiet, scholarly life. What she got was homicide, sabotage, and the crushing realization that nobody has ever died dramatically over a footnote to Homer…until now. Armed only with her wit, bad coffee, and a refusal to conjugate her Latin verbs correctly, she’s determined to crack the case.

Poison and Papyrus is part whodunnit, part academic satire, part therapy for anyone who has ever fallen asleep in a lecture on metrical scansion. Warning: contains dangerous levels of philology, petty rivalries, and the occasional Honda Civic.

At last—a novel for Classicists, about Classicists, and possibly against Classicists.
