DCI St. Just is investigating a murder at St. Michael‘s College, Cambridge. It‘s a fundraising weekend, which began by feting a group of well-heeled alumni, but ended in murder. The language is a bit colorful for me at times, but I really enjoy how St. Just questions everyone involved, not just eliciting the facts, but probing for perceptions and feelings. How he manages to piece these together results in a surprising resolution to the crime.
