- Synopsis
- From a British mystery author known as &“the master of the whodunnit,&” an amateur detective delights in solving murders at an English boys&’ school. Prof. Gervase Fen of Oxford University is honored to award the prizes at the Speech Day ceremonies at Castrevenford High School. As it turns out, the headmaster&’s selection of the part-time sleuth as a presenter is most fortuitous indeed. For the night before the big event, two of the school&’s staff members are murdered . . . Of course, Fen is happy to do some investigating, if only to get more fodder for the crime novel he&’s writing. Between the kidnapping, the student romances, and the accidental discovery of a long-lost Shakespearian manuscript, the eccentric Oxford don certainly gets some food for thought. But that&’s all in a day&’s work for an amateur detective with a penchant for literary allusions and an uncanny knack for solving the unsolvable. Praise for the mysteries of Edmund Crispin &“A marvellous comic sense.&” —P. D. James, New York Times–bestselling author of the Inspector Adam Dalgliesh series &“Master of fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek mystery novels, a blend of John Dickson Carr, Michael Innes, M.R. James, and the Marx Brothers.&” —Anthony Boucher, author of the Fergus O&’Breen series &“An absolute must for devotees of cultivated crime fiction.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“One of the most literate mystery writers of the twentieth century.&” —The Boston Globe &“Beneath a formidable exterior he had unsuspected depths of frivolity.&” —Philip Larkin, poet and author of A Girl in Winter &“One of the last exponents of the classical English detective story.&” —The Times (London)
