Nearly everyone involved has reason to loathe Shorthouse, but who amongst them has the fiendish ingenuity to kill him in his own locked dressing room?In the course of this entertaining adventure, eccentric Oxford professor and amateur sleuth Gervase Fen has to unravel two murders, cope with the unpredictability of the artistic temperament, and attempt to encourage the course of true love.“One of the last exponents of the classical English detective story . . . elegant, literate, and funny.” — “[Crispin’s] books are fast, fun and smart, their hero charming, frivolous, brilliant and badly behaved.” —
