I have always enjoyed Andrew Taylor’s books about James Marwood and Cat Lovett. This is set a little later and we find ourselves in the dingy, murky world of a Cambridge college in the eighteenth century. There is a suspicious death, the suggestion of a ghost, a disturbed undergraduate (or is he) the slippery politics of academia and a main protagonist to catch your attention – John Holdsworth. Gripping and immersive.
