What to expect
Why did Sir Julius Farran die?
Hoping to attract a generous endowment, St Agatha's College, Cambridge, invites the fabulously wealthy Sir Julius Farran to dine. The evening is a disaster for everyone except the college nurse, Imogen Quy, who Farran invites her to come and work for him.
Imogen declines, but when Farran dies, suddenly and shockingly, she has to investigate. His death has left a large hole in his company accounts that could mean financial ruin for St Agatha's. To save her beloved college, Imogen starts to cast her cool eye over the financier's heirs, employees and enemies.
What is right about the death of Sir Julius? What is wrong about it? And above all, why did it happen?
Critics Review
An entertaining read
A jewel in the traditional English detective mode . . . Ms. Morse has arrived
Imogen Quy positively sparkles on the page as an amateur sleuth
Paton Walsh plots deftly and writes intelligently
In Imogen Quy, the author has created an admirable detective heroine, as unabashed as she is unaffected
Jill Paton Walsh demonstrates that the traditional ingredients of the woman sleuth, the academic background and a clever puzzle are still capable of being arranged into an entertaining and stimulating crime novel
