Synopsis

University of Oxford tutor and bestselling author Jason Verdoodt has it all: acclaim, women, money…and an enemy or two. When he's found dead at the bottom of the stairs during a celebratory reception at St Rumwold's College, many wonder if seething jealousy of his literary success has turned someone's mind to murder. Detective Chief Inspector Arthur St. Just becomes inescapably drawn into an investigation that takes him down the historic streets of Oxford and into the hallowed halls of its university. Alongside his fiancée, crime-fiction writer Portia De'Ath, he uncovers several motives for murdering the celebrated but insufferable Jason—whose next novel may be a threat to many in his orbit—and no shortage of suspects who are nursing a grudge from the first novel. Has someone decided to write revenge into the plot?

Goodreads review by Ivonne on July 23, 2024

G.M. Malliet took an 11-year hiatus from the Detective Chief Inspector Arthur St. Just series, so having to wait just two years for No 5 in the series didn’t seem untoward. This time, St. Just and his mystery-writer fiancée Portia De’Ath (yes, yes, it’s super twee) attend a publisher’s party for his......more

Goodreads review by Larry on November 02, 2023

The St. Just series features a very likable detective and usually his staff. This time St. Just is off duty as a guest at a party for a rising literary star when the star of the event is found murdered. The cast of characters is large and interesting, and the plot is good. The hallmark of these St.......more

Thank you NetGalley and Severn House for the eARC. What a great, fun book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good characterizations, sly humor and a close look at the publishing business ... who knew it could be so nasty? Jason Verdoodt has become an overnight success with his first book, making him even more......more

Goodreads review by Susan on December 14, 2023

When Cambridge detective St. Just accompanies his fiancee, a writer of mysteries, to Oxford (of all places!) for an event honoring a scholar there whose first book made a meteoric impact on the publishing industry, he doesn't expect to find the guest of honor dead at the foot of a staircase. As he h......more
