Description
'Dr Greeby was found lying dead there, with his lecture-notes scattered all round him and brickbat in a woollen sock lying beside his head.'An Oxford Master slain on campus during Pentecost.
A pupil and teacher face off with a conniving uncle suspected of murder.
A sociology student turns the tables on the lies and fictions of an English undergraduate. In the hush of the college library and the cacophonies of school halls, tensions run higher than is healthy and academic achievement can be to die for.
Delving into the stacks and tomes of the British Library collections, Martin Edwards invites you to a course on the darker side of scholarly ambition with an essential reading list of masterful short stories. With a teaching cohort including esteemed writers such as Dorothy L Sayers, Celia Fremlin, Michael Innes and the commanding Arthur Conan Doyle, this new anthology offers an education in the beguiling art of mystery writing.
