Description

The post-war production of Wagner's Meistersinger in Oxford is a cause for celebration, with nearly everyone in the company looking forward to a night of music and merriment. However, the arrival of Edwin Shorthouse, a man with a reputation for being odious, casts a shadow over the festivities. When Shorthouse is found dead in his locked dressing room, the company is left to wonder who could have committed such a heinous crime. Enter Gervase Fen, a detective with a passion for amateur sleuthing and a keen mind for observation. With his skills as sharp as his wit, Fen sets out to unravel the tangled threads of the mystery. As he delves deeper into the case, he must use all his cunning and intelligence to uncover the truth. A superbly intricate locked-room mystery, Swan Song is a delightful and engaging read, full of clever plot twists and witty banter.
