She’s mastered the art of work-life balance—until murder tips the scales.
Assistant professor Cara Knight juggles raising two preschoolers, teaching social work, and chasing tenure, with a dean intent on derailing her hopes. When one of her students is arrested for murdering Washington D.C.’s chief medical examiner, and Cara inserts herself into the investigation, she risks far more than her career. Convinced of her student’s innocence, Cara stumbles into a tangle of city politics, grieving families, and secrets someone would kill to keep buried.
Can she diagnose the cause of death before she too ends up in the morgue?
Murder at the Waterfront is Book Three in the Academic Mom Mysteries. If you like clever sleuths, dry humor, and twisty whodunits, then you’ll love Jacque Rosman’s well-plotted puzzle.

A RECIPE FROM THE ACADEMIC MOM MYSTERIES
Milk Chocolate
Cheesecake
A rich, no-fuss cheesecake with a marbled chocolate swirl —

COOK TIME
35 MIN
SERVES
12+
Ingredients
1 pre-made crust (Oreo cookie crust
suggested)
2 packages (8 oz each) low-fat cream
cheese or Neufchâtel
½ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Add the
eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition.
Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
3. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Swirl the melted
chocolate into the batter, avoiding the bottom of the crust,
to create a marbled effect.

and crack.
5. Cool completely, then refrigerate. Serve chilled.

About Author Jacque Rosman
Jacque Rosman writes the Academic Mom Mystery series, featuring Cara Knight, a social work professor whose research instincts keep pulling her into investigations that are decidedly off-syllabus. With wry humor, Jacque mines the absurdity of academia and motherhood for a series that’s equal parts twisty and true-to-life, set in the nation’s capital. When she’s not plotting murders, Jacque can be found juggling her own version of the academic mom life. Join the newsletter for updates on Cara’s next case and the meals that she can get all her family to eat.
