Death in a Nutshell: An Anthropology Whodunit - Paperback
About this item
by Roxanne Varzi (Author)
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. 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 graduate student with dyslexia and ADHD-- a Margaret Mead cum Ms. Marple, and her friends-a Nature photographer, a Ranger, a Polish guest worker, paleontologists, poets and Iranian elite dot-commers-as they explore friendship, identity, climate change, globalization and a murder against the stunning backdrop of the Rockies in winter. An engaging read for adventurous mystery lovers. In an era of fake news and science denial, a little anthropology goes a long way.
