Spot Counts from 1 to 10 by Eric Hill

Flashback to 1991. Minnesota winters are long and cold, physics professors are all male, and information is found in the library - whether it's clues to a homework problem, how to fix a furnace, or skeletons in colleagues' closets.

Lori Barrow has just turned 17, and she starts out her graduate career on the right foot, immediately passing the qualifying exam that's slated to eliminate at least half the class. But she soon learns that academic challenges are the easiest part of getting a PhD.

By the end of the first month, none of the new students trust each other, but no one expects it to lead to murder. When one of their classmates is found dead in front of the department's Foucault pendulum, the police focus on all the wrong suspects. It's up to the students to put their homework problems aside and catch a killer.

Eric Hill (1927-2014) started his artistic career as an art studio messenger and from there went on to become a cartoonist and eventually an art director at a leading advertising agency. In 1978, Eric made up a story about a small puppy to read to his son at bedtime, and Spot was born. The success of his first bestselling lift-the-flap classic, Where's Spot?, in 1980 convinced him to become a full-time author, and his Spot books have been enjoyed by children around the world ever since. In 2008 he was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for services to children's literacy.
