Dame Sarah Murchieson, characterful veteran of a long Civil Service career, finds herself with a real challenge when she agrees at the urgent request of her distinguished ex-lover to become Warden of Gladstone College.The Fellows are at odds over the future of this all-female nineteenth-century institution, the college buildings are being ravaged by damp and woodworm and the finances are in chaos.Dame Sarah's predecessor died suddenly, and it was never established whether this was accidental death or suicide.Into this difficult situation comes a potential killer striking apparently at random, and adding further complications to the relationships among the all-female fellowship, which includes a disappointed Deputy Warden who had hoped
to get Dame Sarah's job and a brilliant young specialist in medieval studies, unhappy in her marriage, whose sexual affairs threaten further difficulty for the college.Even Dame Sarah's principal ally Francesca Wilson, seconded from the DTI, and her policeman husband, Superintendent John McLeish, seem unable to stem the tide of disasters threatening the college, its undergraduates and Fellows.Author's 4th book, confirming her reputation, established in 'Death's bright angel', 'Death on site' and 'Death of a partner', as a crime novelist of the first rank.
'Death's bright angel' won the Crime Writers' Association John Creasey prize.
'Death of a partner' was shortlisted for the Gold Dagger Award in 1991.
