The Needed Killing Series: When James F. Crawford retired from the university he didn't expect to become a private investigator. But Provost Rufus George wanted Crawford to investigate a suspicious death--and he wouldn't take no for an answer. Turns out, Crawford has a knack for solving crimes. With his dog and cat as the perfect sounding board, he talks through the specifics of each case--posing questions to Tan and The Black and answering them himself. If you like your mysteries with a side of humor, give the Needed Killing Series a try.
Book 2: The director of the University Press was often characterized as a man who needed killing. The Press's authors and employees certainly wouldn't disagree--even Peter the Gray, the office cat, detested him. So when someone puts a bullet through Philip Douglas's head, Crawford has plenty of suspects to consider when he is once again thrust into the role of detective.
