Theater companies are notorious hotbeds of intrigue, and few are more intriguing than the company currently in residence at Oxford University. Center-stage is the beautiful, malicious Yseut, a mediocre actress with a stellar talent for destroying men. Rounding out the cast are more than a few of her past and present conquests, and the women who love them. And watching from the wings is Professor Gervase Fen?scholar, wit, and fop extraordinaire?who would rather solve crimes than expound on English literature. When Yseut is murdered, Fen finally gets his wish. Gilded Fly, originally published in 1944, was both Fen's first outing and the debut of the pseudonymous Crispin (in reality, composer Bruce Montgomery).

This was a delightfully complicated mystery story. It's British mystery - in the same genre as Christie and Doyle. It's in the high brow style - the vocabulary is a notch above the usual whodunit. fait attention - there are the politically incorrect comments peppered throughout revealing how much our language has changed. This will definitely please you if you like are a connoisseur of mysteries. I have since bought and read 3 more Crispins and will continue to look for them.
