书籍简介

“格里比博士被发现死在那里，他的讲义散落在他周围，一只羊毛袜里的碎砖头放在他头旁边。”

五旬节期间，牛津大学一位校长在校园内被杀。一名学生和一名老师与一名涉嫌谋杀的阴险叔叔对峙。一名社会学学生揭穿了一名英语本科生的谎言和虚构。

在大学图书馆的寂静和学校大厅的嘈杂声中，紧张气氛超出了正常范围，学术成就令人垂涎。马丁·爱德华兹深入研究了英国图书馆藏书的书架和书籍，邀请您参加一门关于学术抱负阴暗面的课，其中包含一份可读的大师级短篇小说清单。

这本新选集的教学团队包括多萝西·L·塞耶斯、西莉亚·弗雷姆林、迈克尔·伊内斯和杰出的亚瑟·柯南·道尔等知名作家，提供了令人着迷的悬疑写作艺术教育。

'Dr Greeby was found lying dead there, with his lecture-notes scattered all round him and brickbat in a woollen sock lying beside his head.'

An Oxford Master slain on campus during Pentecost. A pupil and teacher face off with a conniving uncle suspected of murder. A sociology student turns the tables on the lies and fictions of an English undergraduate.

In the hush of the college library and the cacophonies of school halls, tensions run higher than is healthy and academic achievement can be to die for. Delving into the stacks and tomes of the British Library collections, Martin Edwards invites you to a course on the darker side of scholarly ambition with an essential reading list of masterful short stories.

With a teaching cohort including esteemed writers such as Dorothy L Sayers, Celia Fremlin, Michael Innes and the commanding Arthur Conan Doyle, this new anthology offers an education in the beguiling art of mystery writing.
