Description

Eccentric Oxford professor Gervase Fen made his debut in The Case of the Gilded Fly, which Edmund Crispin wrote to win a bet. With Holy Disorders, first published in 1945, Crispin's skills matured, but Fen remains as maddeningly childish as ever, still deliciously fond of his own wit and erudition. He's equally fond of amateur sleuthing, so the murder of the cathedral organist is a cause for glee. Could the fellow have fallen afoul of a nest of German spies or of the local coven of witches, ominously rumored to have been practicing since the 17th century? Tracking down the answer pleases Fen immensely ? only the reader will have a better time. This, said the New York Times Book Review, is ?Fen at his very best.?
