Miss pym disposes - josephine tey

A guest lecturer at a college for women, psychologist Miss Pym steps in to prevent a young student from cheating during final exams, an act of compassion that precipitates a fatal accident--or was it murder? Miss Lucy Pym, a popular English psychologist, is guest lecturer at a physical training college.

The years term is nearly over, and Miss Pym -- inquisitive and observant -- detects a furtiveness in the behavior of one student during a final exam.

She prevents the girl from cheating by destroying her crib notes.

But Miss Pyms cover-up of one crime precipitates another -- a fatal accident that only her psychological theories can prove was really murder.
