Gaudy Night
by Dorothy L. Sayers
Summary
The dons of Harriet Vane’s alma mater, the all-female Shrewsbury College, Oxford, have invited her back to attend the annual Gaudy celebrations. However, the mood turns sour when someone begins a series of malicious acts, including poison-pen messages, obscene graffiti, and wanton vandalism. Harriet asks her old friend Wimsey to investigate.
