As inventive as Agatha Christie, as hilarious as P.G. Wodehouse - discover the delightful detective stories of Edmund Crispin. Crime fiction at its quirkiest and best.

When young actress Gloria Scott throws herself from Waterloo Bridge, the news sends shockwaves through her film studio. Luckily Gervase Fen is in London to investigate.

But when someone acts fast to cover up any evidence - removing all signs of Ms Scott's identity from her apartment and poisoning a suspicious cameraman - the truth is hard to find...

In this top mystery, the traditional elements of crime fiction are woven into a historical setting, creating a cosy atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the thrillers of today. Edmund Crispin masterfully crafts a narrative that keeps readers on their toes, always guessing what will happen next.

For fans of Margery Allingham (More Work for the Undertaker), Dorothy L. Sayers (Striding Folly), Josephine Tey (The Daughter of Time), Ethel Lina White (PUT OUT THE LIGHT), and Jill Paton Walsh (The Late Scholar).
