Armchair Anthropology Whodunit Series

Book One

In an era of fake news and science denial, a little anthropology goes a long way.

Read what Cozy Mystery Book Reviews calls “A very unique story.”

Alex is on the verge of dismissal from her anthropology doctoral program when her luck turns, and she lands a fellowship with a dioramist at the Museum of the Rockies. The only problem is, Alex hasn’t a clue about dioramas or dinosaurs, and, as she will soon find out, she’s not the only one faking it in this frozen landscape. From New York City to Yellowstone National Park, we follow Alex, a whip-smart student with dyslexia and ADHD, a Margaret Mead cum Ms. Marple, as she explores friendship, identity, globalization and a murder against the stunning backdrop of the Rockies in winter. 

Death in a Nutshell: An Anthropology Whodunit introduces the reader to the world of visual anthropology through a mystery. A book for everyone from cozy mystery lovers to folks interested in learning a little visual anthropology (if you ever use a powerpoint that should be you!)
