Book cover: “Death on the Cherwell” by Mavis Doriel Hay (Skeffington & Son, 1935); audiobook read by Patience Tomlinson (Soundings, 2015)
Hay starts off with amateur detectives (students from the Oxford women’s college whose setting elevates the novel) then discards them—along with the obvious suspects—in favour of an avuncular Scotland Yard man whose deductive skills at no point outstrip the reader’s. #MavisDorielHay
