Trying to get her name off of the handsome Detective Crawford's suspect list turns out to be just one of her problems. Alison has to bail her ex out of jail; deal with the victim's distraught parents, classmates of hers when she was a student at St. Thomas; and grade those Shakespeare exams, which seem to be getting a lot of attention for a boring old stack of reports. And in the meantime, who would want to kill college student Kathy Miceli?
