The Blurb On The Back:

Harriet Vane has never dared to return to her old Oxford college. Now, despite her scandalous life, she has been summoned back ...

At first she thinks her worst fears have been fulfilled, as she encounters obscene grafitti, poison pen letters and a disgusting effigy when she arrives at sedate Shrewsbury College for the 'Gaudy' celebrations.

But soon, Harriet realises that she is not the only target of this murderous malice - and asks Lord Peter Wimsey to help.

The Verdict:

As much a fascinating character study as it is a twisting mystery, this book is very enjoyable and I'm now an unashamed Wimsey fangirl.
