4.0 out of 5 stars Glimpses of genius, 23 April 2003
By Mr. Richard A. Drew (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whilst not quite 'Golden Age' crime, this novel is well worth a place on the shelves of any fan of classic English detective fiction.

Edmund Crispin (also known as the composer Bruce Montgomery) produced this final novel in 1977 a year before his death.

It was the first book he had published in over 20 years and there is a noticeable difference in quality between this book and his earlier eight novels from the 1940's and 50's and lacks the period charm of his earlier work.

It's set in a rural Devon community. The plot involves beheading, dismemberment, electricity board officials, hunters, hunt saboteurs, a church fete, a Botticelli, a motor cross race, pigs, a cat a tortoise and a complete assortment of rather odd characters. Gervase Fen, Professor of English at Oxford is a wonderfully eccentric figure on holiday in Devon who happens to get involved...

In style he is close to Gladys Mitchell or Carter Dickson (John Dickson Carr) and to a lesser extent Michael Innes.

Whilst not a patch on his earlier works, it's a must have for Edmund Crispin fans.
