Présentation de l'éditeur
For Miss Cordell, principal of Persephone College, there are two great evils to be feared: unladylike behaviour among her students, and bad publicity for the college. So her prim and cosy world is turned upside down when a secret society of undergraduates meets by the river on a gloomy January afternoon, only to find the drowned body of the college bursar floating in her canoe. The police assume that a student prank got out of hand, but the resourceful Persephone girls suspect foul play, and take the investigation into their own hands. Soon they uncover the tangled secrets that led to the bursar's death - and the clues that point to a fellow student. This classic mystery novel, with its evocative setting in an Oxford women's college, is now republished for the first time since the 1930s.
Revue de presse
The style is deliciously dry and dated, but that brings with it a certain charm. There is certainly no gore, but there is plenty of vintage good stuff to enjoy. --The Lady
It's worth reading this book for the title alone - and is a reminder that Colin Dexter does not have the monopoly on crime fiction set in Oxford ... A charming crime novel, easily digested, and a delightful example of the Golden Age of detective fiction. --Oxford Times
An absolute delight ... Full of wonderful insights into college life of the 1930s, rivalries between town and gown, smart cars and lunches at the Mitre, and of course a murder to solve into the bargain, this is a terrific read and highly recommended. --Shiny New Books
