This one just seemed forced to me. I enjoyed the characters and the plot, but I think it was the setting that just seemed wrong.

Tressa is taking college classes to get ahead in her career. Her cousin, Frankie, is also taking classes but to try to get into law enforcement. They notice that every time one of Frankie's profs talks about a crime in class that same crime is committed on campus that night. Coincidence? Tressa doesn't think so. Full of hijinks and fun, but still not as good as the other three. (
