The May Week Murders

einmal vorsichtig gelesen, fast wie neu

Murder was bad enough, and a murder in Cambridge, of all places, and in May Week, too, was worse; but what really put the tin hat on it was the baronetcy and the Bath and the Carlton.’

A dinner at the ‘Eagle’ followed by the Trinity May Ball ends in tragedy when Sir Vyvyan Rowsell-Hogg is found stabbed to death in King’s Lane. Major Maurice Hemyock has to keep his wits about him as he investigates blue murder most foul within the world of academe and with those connected to the ‘Nine Bright Shiners’.
