Description
A gripping mystery set in Oxford in the 1660s, An Instance of the Fingerpost is a complex and intellectually stimulating novel. The story revolves around the murder of Robert Grove, a fellow of New College, and the conflicting accounts of four witnesses who claim to have witnessed the event. As each witness tells their version of the events, only one reveals the extraordinary truth. Brilliantly written and utterly convincing, this novel combines the simplicity of a classic whodunit with the intellectual subtlety of a historical thriller.
