    Inspector Appleby is called to St Anthony's College, where the president has been murdered in his lodging. Scandal abounds when it becomes clear that the only people with any motive to murder him are the only people who had the opportunity - because the President's Lodging opens off Orchard Ground, which is locked at night, and only the Fellows of the College have keys.

    Story
    What did you love best about Death at the President's Lodging?

    I like that it was written in the Golden Age of detective fiction - the age of Sayers and Christie - and that it takes place at a University. The characters were well thought out, all the clues were there, but I found it challenging to figure out whodunnit.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I liked the detective.


    What about Stephen Hogan’s performance did you like?

    Beautiful voice and phrasing, excellent characterizations


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    It wasn't that kind of story


    Any additional comments?

    Escapism at its best!
