As inventive as Agatha Christie, as hilarious as P.G. Wodehouse - discover the delightful detective stories of Edmund Crispin. Crime fiction at its quirkiest and best. In the sleepy English village of Sanford Angelorum, professor and amateur detective Gervase Fen is taking a break from his books to run for Parliament. At first glance, the village he's come to canvass appears perfectly peaceful, but Fen soon discovers that appearances can be deceptive: someone in the village has discovered a dark secret and is using it for blackmail. Anyone who comes close to uncovering the blackmailer's identity is swiftly dispatched. As the joys of politics wear off, Fen sets his mind to the mystery but finds himself caught up in a tangled tale of eccentric psychiatrists, escaped lunatics, beautiful women and lost heirs. Erudite, eccentric and entirely delightful – Before Morse, Oxford’s murders were solved by Gervase Fen, the most unpredictable detective in classic crime fiction. This top-notch traditional mystery, filled with cosy corners and eccentric characters, will keep you guessing until the very end. Edmund Crispin's Buried for Pleasure is a delightful blend of humour and suspense, making it a must-read for fans of classic crime fiction. For fans of Margery Allingham (Sweet Danger), Anthony Horowitz (Close to Death), Elly Griffiths (The Last Word), Dorothy L. Sayers (Five Red Herrings), and Richard Coles (A Death in the Parish).
