Swan Song
Beskrivelse av boken
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.
When an opera company gathers in Oxford for the first post-war production of Wagner's Die Meistersinger its happiness is soon soured by the discovery that the unpleasant Edwin Shorthouse will be singing a leading role. Nearly everyone involved has reason to loathe Shorthouse but who amongst them has the fiendish ingenuity to kill him in his own locked dressing room?
In the course of this entertaining adventure, eccentric Oxford don and amateur sleuth Gervase Fen has to unravel two murders, cope with the unpredictability of the artistic temperament, and attempt to encourage the course of true love.

- Most enjoyable and ingenious with, thankfully, not too detailed an explanation at the conclusion. Sometimes said to be a mix between Dorothy L. Sayers and PG Woodhouse. I agree. I had read this several years ago and enjoyed listening to it again. Definitely one to come back to.  I enjoyed the narration.
