Frequent Hearses Summary

Frequent Hearses (A Gervase Fen Mystery) by Edmund Crispin

As inventive as Agatha Christie, as hilarious as P.G. Wodehouse - discover the delightful detective stories of Edmund Crispin. Crime fiction at its quirkiest and best.

When young actress Gloria Scott throws herself from Waterloo Bridge, the news sends shockwaves through her film studio. Luckily Gervase Fen is in London to investigate.

But when someone acts fast to cover up any evidence - removing all signs of Ms Scott's identity from her apartment and poisoning a suspicious cameraman - the truth is hard to find...

Frequent Hearses Reviews

'Both the mature and the discerning young choose to pick up one of Crispin's beautifully turned crime novels' The Times

'Crispin isn't in it for the mystery, but for the enigmas' Guardian

'His books are full of high spirits and excellent jokes, with constant literary allusions and an atmosphere of bibulous good humour. But at times the mood turns darker, and Crispin is capable of passages of both genuine suspense and ingenius deduction' Daily Telegraph

'Crispin is noted for an ability to embellish clever story lines with Marx Brothers touches' New York Times

'Rightly elevated to classic status' New York Sun
