Description
Swing Low, Swing Death by R. T. Campbell is a mystery novel featuring an amateur detective. A prominent art dealer's body is discovered at a London museum, and Professor Stubbs must investigate the crime. The suspects include a librarian, an aspiring poet, an interior decorator, an art critic, and a patron of the arts. The story takes place in post-war London, where the atmosphere is vividly recaptured by the author. The narrative is brisk and humorous, with allusions to the works of T.S. Eliot, Kipling, Shakespeare, and other poets. Originally published in 1946, Swing Low, Swing Death is part of a series of seven novels featuring Professor Stubbs.
