I enjoyed this mystery. Especially the moral dilemma it presents. I'll have to go back and read the other Imogen Quy mysteries. Good solid British cozy mystery complete with well drawn amateur detective. I'm amazed at the amount of time she was able to devote to her extra curricular sleuthing. ( )

A slow start but ramps up well about the halfway mark keeps it up to the end. ( )

A good read sat in the garden in the sun on a rare nice bankholiday monday. Imogen gets herself into some scrapes, this being one of the more unlikely ones. this time she becomes involved due to the reapperance of a former flame, an academic who sold out and moved to the commercial sector. Andrew (who's a bit wet, if truth be told) comes in tow with Sir Julian who's dragged himself up by his bootstraps, and isn't the most moral of businessmen. He says something about if he's found under a bus, then one of his enemies has got him. he's not found under a bus, but is found off the edge of a cliff - which sparks Imogen's interest. She starts digging around, assisted by Andrew, and then there's a second murder - for which Andrew is most certainly in the frame. it all got a bit convoluted, and I'm not sure i understood the financial skulduggery - but I don;t think Imogen understood it either. As seems to the the series motif, she ends up being the moral arbiter to an important decision. It was a little farfetched, and the ending was a little too neat in some ways, but a satisfactory conclusion, nonetheless. ( )

College nurse Imogen Quy investigates financial troubles and two murders at Cambridge University. I've liked pretty much everything I've read by Walsh and this was no exception. ( )

The third in a series but the first I've read. An above average example of the "whodunit by someone who's not actually a cop" genre with interesting characters.
