Love Lies Bleeding

by Crispin, Edmund

Castrevenford school is preparing for Speech Day and Professor Gervase Fen is called upon to present the prizes. However, the night before the big day strange events take place that leave two members of staff dead. The Headmaster turns to Professor Fen to investigate the murders. While disentangling the facts of the case, Mr Fen is forced to deal with student love affairs, a kidnapping and a lost Shakespearean manuscript. By turns hilarious and chilling, Love Lies Bleeding is a classic of the detective genre.

Often quite amusing with a fun motive, though I think the steam runs out shortly after its discovery.
