The Bad Quarto: A Gripping Cambridge Murder Mystery: Imogen Quy Mysteries
Autor Jill Paton Walshen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2007
'A jewel in the traditional English detective mode . . . Ms. Morse has arrived' - Observer
Another foolhardy Cambridge college night climber has died attempting Harding's Folly. This time it's John Talentire, one of the brightest young dons at St Agatha's, and the verdict is accident, compounded by idiocy.
But college nurse Imogen Quy can't help wondering how such a clever young man died so stupidly.
And when a wildly eccentric production of Hamlet is interrupted by a murder accusation, Imogen investigates, uncovering more crime than she expected . . .

Recenzii
Formidable talent . . . not so much Reservoir Dogs, more agony aunt with the mind of Morse
Jill Paton Walsh has created a Miss Marple for the 21st century
This is a satisfyingly convoluted tale, involving a family tragedy that took place many years before, as well as some ingenious sleuthing on the part of Imogen.
A jewel in the traditional English detective mode . . . Ms. Morse has arrived
Imogen Quy positively sparkles on the page as an amateur sleuth
Paton Walsh plots deftly and writes intelligently
In Imogen Quy, the author has created an admirable detective heroine, as unabashed as she is unaffected
Jill Paton Walsh demonstrates that the traditional ingredients of the woman sleuth, the academic background and a clever puzzle are still capable of being arranged into an entertaining and stimulating crime novel
St Agatha's College looks like a haven of mediaeval tranquility. But Cambridge colleges are full of secrets . . .
A daredevil lecturer with a brilliant future falls to his death - an accident?
An angry scholarship student with a tragic past disappears - intentionally?
And how is either event connected to an amateur production of an obscure version of Hamlet?
Imogen Quy, whose name rhymes with 'why', is the cleverest college nurse in Cambridge. She unpicks a tangled tale of long-forgotten tragedy with murderous consequences many years later.
'Imogen Quy positively sparkles on the page as an amateur sleuth. Sunday Express
'Precisely plotted, and the characters, especially the calm and perceptive Imogen, are convincing.' Sunday Times
[set this part very small.]
Have you read the other Imogen Quy novels? The Wyndham Case, Debts of Dishonour and A Piece of Justice are all Hodder paperbacks.
