In Malliet's latest series installment (after Death and the Lit Chick), St. Mike's College Cambridge is crumbling and needs money for repairs, so the school hosts a fundraising weekend for wealthy alumni. All goes well until one of the alumni is found dead. Det. Insp. Arthur St. Just works his way through an impressive list of suspects with shared history, clashing egos, and lots of secrets. Malliet delivers a witty, classic British cozy mystery with just a touch of romance. Davina Porter delivers an elegantly rendered performance.
VERDICT Fans of cozy or classic mysteries will find this a delightful treat. Recommended for public libraries.
