Gaudy Night (Lord Peter Wimsey, Bk 12)
Debisbooked avatar reviewed on + 136 more book reviews


Obscene graffiti, poison pen letters and a disgusting effigy greeted Harriet Vane on her return to Oxford for the 'Gaudy' celebrations. A graduate of ten years before and now a successful novelist, this should have been a pleasant, nostalgic visit for her - but someone had other, depraved ideas. She asks her lover, Lord Peter Wimsey, for help.
