Murder at the College

Murder at the College is the first of Whitechurch's which I have read despite it being one of his last works. Whitechurch was an Anglican vicar and later Canon who served as an inspiration to many of the subsequent well-known mystery authors of the first half of the 20th century. Murder at the College is not sensational in its murderer, nor does its hero have superhuman detective skills. Rather, it follows Detective Ambrose as he follows the clues to reach an unforeseen but realistic conclusion.
