Description

Amidst the storied halls of Shrewsbury College, Harriet Vane returns to her alma mater to attend a conference involving the notable female dons. Yet, what starts as a gathering of esteemed academics quickly dives into a murky mystery. Harriet finds herself drawn into a web of intrigue when a series of malicious pranks disrupt the scholarly atmosphere, casting a shadow over the esteemed institution.

As the chaos unfolds, Harriet's keen intellect and bold spirit come to the forefront. She grapples with her own past and the complexities of her connection with Lord Peter Wimsey, who arrives to offer his assistance. Together, they navigate the challenges that arise, confronting not only the mystery itself but also the implications of womanhood and independence in a male-dominated society.

With her trademark wit and insight, Sayers crafts a narrative that blends mystery with profound reflections on love, loyalty, and the pursuit of knowledge. Through Harriet's journey, readers explore the vibrant dynamics of academia, the burdens of reputation, and the search for one's true identity.
