murdered in a neighboring village. Professor Fen, who is assisting the police with the investigation, suspects that all three murders are closely related; moreover, the reasons for what happened should be sought in old papers that Mrs. Bly found in her home during renovations…
1. The novel made it to the list of the "100 Best Mysteries of the 20th Century" according to the British Association of Crime Writers — it is a model of classic detective fiction with impeccable intrigue and an unexpected resolution. 2. The author, Edmund Crispin, is one of the key representatives of the Golden Age of detective fiction; his work was highly praised by genre masters such as P. D. James, and The Times compared his style to Agatha Christie and P. G. Wodehouse. 3. The story revolves around a triple murder in two locations (a school and a village), and the key to the solution lies in old papers — this plot twist creates a multilayered intrigue and keeps the tension until the last page.
