As inventive as Agatha Christie, as hilarious as P.G. Wodehouse - discover the delightful detective stories of Edmund Crispin. Crime fiction at its quirkiest and best.
Holy Disorders takes Oxford don and part time detective Gervase Fen to the town of Tolnbridge, where he is happily bounding around with a butterfly net until the cathedral organist is murdered, giving Fen the chance to play sleuth. The man didn't have an enemy in the world, and even his music was inoffensive: could he have fallen foul of a nest of German spies or of the local coven of witches, ominously rumored to have been practicing since the 17th century?
Crispin's Holy Disorders is a humorous take on the traditional mystery genre. The historical setting adds depth to the story, making it a top pick for fans of cosy thrillers.
For fans of Margery Allingham (Sweet Danger), Anthony Horowitz (Close to Death), Elly Griffiths (The Last Word), Dorothy L. Sayers (Five Red Herrings), and Richard Coles (A Death in the Parish).
