In 'Death at the Rectory,' Michael Innes immerses us in a classic detective plot set in the academic environment of Oxford. When the rector of St. Anthony's College is found dead in his library, a scandal breaks out among the eccentric professors, all with motives and opportunities to commit the crime. Inspector Appleby and Agent Dodd face ingenious alibis and intellectual digressions that complicate the investigation, where nothing is as it seems. Innes creates a fun mockery of academic customs while building an intriguing and well-crafted mystery plot.
