What Members Thought
3½ stars. Fairly straightforward (for Innes!) police procedural mystery set in a small university. I couldn't figure out 'whodunit' but enjoyed the ride following Appleby's investigation in this 9th entry of the series. There were some great witty throwaway lines, such as "England is at best a semi-barbarous country and the demand for portraits of retired philosophy professors was small." (paraphrasing from memory so my apologies if not exactly as Innes wrote it)

Another one with quirky characters. I absolutely did not see the ending coming. Very good! Three and a half stars.
A good interesting mystery. It was entertaining even if the language is a bit aged.
