Lewis Packford, the great Shakespearean scholar, was thought to have discovered a book annotated by the Bard - but there is no trace of this valuable object when Packford apparently commits suicide. Sir John Appleby finds a mixed bag of suspects at the dead man's house.

The Long Farewell | Michael Innes

A trio of second hand books I found today in a trio of places. 📚
I've been listening to classicist-comedian Natalie Haynes's podcast about Greek and Roman writers and mythology, so added the Oresteian plays of Aeschylus to the tbr, though I'll probably read one of her books first.
The Long Farewell is 15th (or 17th 🤷‍♂️) in Innes's Appleby series, none of which I've read, so hopefully that won't matter. A modern-day (well, 1950s) ⬇️

Bookwomble ... Shakespearian murder mystery sounds fun!
And a more-battered-than-I-realised-but-it-was-only-three-quid copy of a Kate Wilhelm sci-fi novel in which things go wrong for colonists on Venus! (edited) 1w

Leftcoastzen So cool! 1w

The Long Farewell | Michael Innes

Pick

After an acquaintance's funeral, his solicitor confides in Appleby that he thinks it was murder rather than suicide as the police thought.

Michael Innes is back in form with this story of an investigation in a houseful of batty academics holding a parody convention devoted to the work of an imaginary 18th century writer.
