Murder at Pentecost by Dorothy L. Sayers

A death at an Oxford college during the Pentecost festival seems at first to be natural—but Lord Peter Wimsey suspects foul play. His investigation uncovers scholarly rivalries and petty vendettas beneath the quiet academic surface. The plot moves quickly with Sayers’ characteristic wit and elegance. A compact yet layered academic mystery. A refined tale where intellect solves what appearances conceal.
