Publisher's Summary

Imogen Quy returns to solve another intriguing Cambridge mystery in the latest in an exciting series to rival Inspector Morse.

Another foolhardy Cambridge college-climber has died attempting Harding's Folly. This time it's John Talentire, one of the brightest young dons at St Agatha's, and the verdict is accident, compounded by idiocy.

But Imogen Quy - her name rhymes with 'why' - can't help wondering how such a clever young man died so stupidly. And when a wildly eccentric production of Hamlet is interrupted by a murder accusation, Imogen has to look into it, uncovering more crime than she expected.

Mayhem among the learned

Good hearty mystery, complex and holds your attention to the end. A treat for lovers of character study. An interesting look at human foibles and an unexpected resolution to it all.

The narrator could have been more animated and expressive. Overall a good yarn.
