Description
The crime was at once intriguing and bizarre, efficient and theatrical.
The members of St Anthony’s College awake one bleak November morning to find the most chilling of crimes has happened in their quiet, contained college. Josiah Umpleby, President of the college, has been shot in his room during the night.
The college buzzes with supposition and speculation. Orchard Ground and the lodgings are particularly insulated: only a limited number of senior staff have access and even fewer have their own keys.
With the killer walking among them, Inspector John Appleby of the New Scotland Yard is called in to investigate. As tensions rise and accusations abound, can Appleby determine which of the seven suspects had motive and malice enough to murder a colleague in cold blood?

Leyla J, Reviewer
Having read this many years ago, I was thrilled to see this again available, and I must say I did enjoy it again. Although I must be getting a little older as I found myself a little lost in all the timings, nevertheless it was a very clever written book with very likeable characters. It is a typical British University mystery, light and involved - it was lovely revisiting the book.

'A most embarrassing wealth of clues'
This is a lightly-fun old skool mystery with a complicated plot involving lots of suspects who drag bodies around a college garden, contrive ingenious mechanisms, and generally lie to thwart suspicions - luckily Inspector Appleby is a suitably erudite gentleman and well able to get to the bottom of who killed the college president. Good if you like unravelling intellectual clues rather than racing around with lots of pace and action.
