Klappentext:
Par. \'Cleverly plotted . . . Walsh\'s pitch-perfect re-creation of the charismatic leads is a delight\' - Publishers Weekly
\'Delicious\' - Booklist
Lord Peter Wimsey is delighted to discover that along with a dukedom he has inherited the duties of \'visitor\' at an Oxford college. When the fellows ask him to resolve a college dispute, he and Harriet are all too keen to spend some time in Oxford.
But the dispute quickly turns sour. The voting is evenly balanced between two passionate parties, and the Warden - who has the casting vote - has mysteriously disappeared. Even worse, several of the fellows begin dying unexpectedly.
And the deaths of the deceased fellows bear an uncanny resemblance to the murders in Peter\'s past cases - murders that Harriet has used in her published novels . . .Par.
Rezension:
Ms. Walsh once more succeeds in emulating and extending her late inspiration\'s unusual mixture of drama and foolishness, poetry and prattle, local colour and grim undercurrents Wall Street Journal
