The Late Scholar Av Jill Paton Walsh

<p><b>''Cleverly plotted . . . Walsh''s pitch-perfect re-creation of the charismatic leads is a delight'' - <i>Publishers </i>Weekly</b><br><b>''Delicious'' - <i>Booklist</i></b><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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 . . .</p>
