Hubie has been asked to teach a noncredit class to six students in the art of pottery making at the college. He receives fifty dollars per student plus tips. In this case, tips include tamales from Olga Perez. A few weeks later he is asked to teach a credited class and he accepts. This class is ART 2330, Anasazi Pottery Methods and teaches the students how the ancient potters made their beautiful works of art.

Many things have changed since his student days, and he has to quickly get up to speed with all the new rules and regulations. Dealing with cell phones, trigger warnings, and sensitivity training has his head spinning as he deals with his art students.

When one of his students becomes a life model and is murdered during a modeling session, Hubie gets involved. Can he find the murderer before the murderer takes him out?

This is an amazing series that showcases some wonderfully drawn characters and twisted murder plots. The background of salvaging antiquated pottery and pottery making adds depth to the storyline. The characters are realistic and very relatable.This is the eighth book in the series and each can be read as a standalone.

  5. Please don't enter me in this contest as I already have my copy. I just wanted to encourage everyone to read this series. It is not in my local library system, but I seek out each new book as it is released and hold it in my tbr pile until the next book is out. I always want an unread book waiting for me. This is my favorite series to recommend when I am asked - who do you like to read. I have bought many copies as gifts and everyone has enjoyed it.
