Edmund Crispin
Dandelions and hearing aids, a bloodstained cat, a Leonardo drawing, a corpse with an alibi, a truly poisonous letter … just some of the unusual clues that Oxford don/detective Gervase Fen and his friend Inspector Humbleby are confronted with in this sparkling collection of short mystery stories by one of the great masters of detective fiction.

‘Both the mature and the discerning young choose to pick up one of Crispin's beautifully turned crime novels’ The Times
‘Crispin isn't in it for the mystery, but for the enigmas’ Guardian
‘His books are full of high spirits and excellent jokes, with constant literary allusions and an atmosphere of bibulous good humour. But at times the mood turns darker, and Crispin is capable of passages of both genuine suspense and ingenius deduction’ Daily Telegraph
‘Crispin is noted for an ability to embellish clever story lines with Marx Brothers touches’ New York Times
‘Rightly elevated to classic status’ New York Sun
