Gaudy Night Unknown - 2005
by Dorothy L. Sayers
From the publisher
When Harriet Vane attends her Oxford reunion, known as the "Gaudy', the prim academic setting is haunted by a rash of bizarre pranks: scrawled obscenities, burnt effigies and poison-pen letters--including one that says, "Ask your boyfriend with the title if he likes arsenic in his soup." Some of the notes threaten murder and one of them involves a long Latin quotation, which makes Harriet suspect that the perpetrator is probably a member of the Senior Common Room. But which of the apparently rational, respectable dons could be committing such crazed acts? This release includes a special interview with top crime novelists P. D. James and Jill Paton Walsh about Gaudy Night.

Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
