"A master of the whodunnit... he combines a flawless plot, witty dialogue, and a touch of hilarity" - The New York Times
Holy Disorders takes Oxford don and part time detective Gervase Fen to the town of Tolnbridge, where he is happily bounding around with a butterfly net until the cathedral organist is murdered, giving Fen the chance to play sleuth. The man didn't have an enemy in the world, and even his music was inoffensive: could he have fallen foul 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.
Erudite, eccentric and entirely delightful - Before Morse, Oxford's murders were solved by Gervase Fen, the most unpredictable detective in classic crime fiction.
REVIEWS
"Fen at his very best" - New York Times Book Review
"Holy Disorders uncannily recreates the mood of an antiquarian ghost story" - Washington Post
"I very much enjoy Edmund Crispin, who's extremely frivolous, with a marvellous comic sense" – P.D. James
"Beneath a formidable exterior he had unsuspected depths of frivolity" - Philip Larkin
