Book Description
================
Theatre companies are notorious hotbeds of intrigue, and few are more
intriguing than the company currently in residence at Oxford University.
Center-stage is the beautiful, malicious Yseut - a mediocre actress
with a stellar talent for destroying men. Rounding out the cast are
more than a few of her past and present conquests, and the women who
love them. And watching from the wings is Professor Gervase Fen - scholar,
wit, and fop extraordinaire - who would infinitely rather solve crimes
than expound on English literature. When Yseut is murdered, Fen finally
gets his wish.
The Author:
===============
Edmund Crispin was the pseudonym of Bruce Montgomery (1921-1978.) an
English crime writer and composer. His novels feature the Oxford don
Gervase Fen, who is the Professor of English at the university and fellow
of St Christopher's College, a fictional institution that Crispin locates
next to St John's College. Fen is an eccentric, sometimes absent-minded
though brilliant character. The whodunit novels have complex plots and
fantastic, somewhat unbelievable solutions, including examples of the
locked room mystery. They are written in a humorous, literary and sometimes
farcical style and contain frequent references to English literature,
poetry, and music. Crispin is considered to be one of the last great
exponents of the British 'classic' crime mystery.
