Cambridge college nurse Imogen Quy solves a murder mystery involving academic rivalry, life-threatening dares and an amateur production of the Bad Quarto of Hamlet. The plotting is excellent and the characters extremely believable. Apparently a far cry from the Paton Walsh of Knowledge of Angels (bwl 5), but her intelligence and erudition are nevertheless lurking beneath the surface, producing, to my mind, a very pleasing read.
