Poetic Justice — Amanda Cross

Kate Fansler is a willowy beauty who teaches Victorian literature and has a passion for the poems of W. H. Auden--poems that take on new meaning when death brings mystery to a great New York university. Reed Amhearst, of the D.A:s office, is her fiance--and the man investigating the death of one of Kate's arch adversaries.

The death was either innocently accidental or diabolically planned--with an uncomfortable number of motives pointed directly at Kate and her friends. And perhaps most sinister, the death occurred at a party given in Kate's honor.
