Eccentric Oxford professor Gervase Fen made his debut in The Case of the Gilded Fly, which Edmund Crispin wrote to win a bet. With Holy Disorders, first published in 1945, Crispin's skills matured, but Fen remains as maddeningly childish as ever, still deliciously fond of his own wit and erudition. He's equally fond of amateur sleuthing, so the murder of the cathedral organist is a cause for glee. Could the fellow have fallen afoul of a nest of German spies or of the local coven of witches, ominously rumored to have been practicing since the 17th century? Tracking down the answer pleases Fen immensely ? only the reader will have a better time. This, said the New York Times Book Review, is ?Fen at his very best.?

Review:
"I very much enjoy Edmund Crispin, who's extremely frivolous, with a marvellous comic sense" (P.D. James)

"Fen at his very best" (New York Times Book Review)

"Holy Disorders, uncannily recreates the mood of an antiquarian ghost story" (Washington Post)

"A master of the whodunnit... he combines a flawless plot, witty dialogue, and a touch of hilarity" (New York Times)

"Beneath a formidable exterior he had unsuspected depths of frivolity" (Philip Larkin)
From the Publisher:
Who crushed to death a cathedral organist who didn't have an enemy in the world? Only Gervase Fen can track down the murderer in this witty and surreal whodunnit
