About this listen

They say knowledge is power.

For newly minted PhD Rowena Halley, all her book learning isn’t enough to keep her safe. She’ll have to rely on her Moscow-honed street smarts instead.

Get the first four books in the Doctor Rowena Halley series and three bonus companion novellas in one boxed set!

Meet Rowena Halley, a former human rights activist turned academic. Rowena thought teaching on US college campuses would be a lot safer than interviewing torture victims in Russia. Boy, was she wrong.

Rowena quickly gets caught up in campus intrigue that threatens to turn deadly. Meanwhile, the life and lover she thought she’d left behind in Moscow might not be so firmly back in the past as she’d believed.

Written by a Russian professor with extensive insider knowledge of the topic, these books take a deep dive into the dark underbelly of American higher education. Serious and satirical in turn, they combine mystery, dark humor, and a touch of romance in a searingly funny examination of contemporary American and Russian society.

Content warning: These books contain adult language—and have the one-star reviews to prove it. Worse than that, they have been accused of peddling philosophy and political science. You’ve been warned.

Too boring to finish.

Nothing of interest happened, even though I pushed myself to listen up to Chapter 31. Aside from this, the writing isn’t suited to audio presentation. There are too many grammatical anomalies that just don’t translate from visual to audio. Too hard to interpret. And the dialogue of a Skype conversation that went on and on (and on…) from one speaker to another. Made my teeth ache. This appears to be neither a mystery nor a comedy.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
