‘A sparkling, intelligent series, not to be missed.’ The Historical Novel SocietyTwelve compelling whodunnits featuring two amateur sleuths. Over 2500 pages of top-notch mysteries set amongst the history-steeped colleges of Cambridge University.Perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton, Edward Marston, Marion Chesney, C.J. Archer and Sherlock Holmes.It starts with a series of murders at St Bride’s College that hit a little too close to home. Now, not only are Jonty and Orlando at risk, but they’ve been enlisted as the eyes and ears for the police . . .MEET YOUR DETECTIVE DUO.Jonty Stewart, born to an upper-class family, is the epitome of charm and wit. Once an undergraduate at St Bride’s, he’s now returned to the college to take up a teaching post in the English department. Jonty is as passionate about Shakespeare as he is about solving mysteries. His weakness is a steak-and-kidney pie and he’ll always try to drag his friend and fellow lecturer Orlando to Bishop’s Cope for a pint or two. Jonty’s room is a chaotic mess, brimming with books, family photos and rugby mementoes. He’s the complete opposite to Orlando — but that’s what makes them such a great team.Orlando Coppersmith is a fellow in Mathematics and has been at St Bride’s for six years. His room is pristine, his manner serious, and his grasp of social conventions tenuous at best. He takes comfort in his routines — especially his frequent visits to the local confectionary shop, where he stocks up on Liquorice Allsorts, toffees, and other delights. Orlando likes to cling to tradition, especially his seat at the High Table and he was most put out when Jonty tried to steal it on their first meeting.These two fellows are not only unlikely sleuths, they’re also an unlikely couple!PRAISE FOR CHARLIE COCHRANE:‘Amusing and heartwarming.’ Dear Author‘Shows the deep affection some men have for one another, as well as the hatred others have of them.’ History and Women⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘As a detective mystery it stands comparison with the best, as a gay historical romance it's at the top of the pile.’ Bruin F.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Sherlock Holmes and Maurice meet and have an affair.’ Michael R.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The characters are of their time and I found the story itself interesting and the murderer was a total surprise. I will definitely be reading more by this author.’ Toni⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘This book was beautifully written. What more could one ask?’ Charlie⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I easily give this 5 stars our of 5.’ Dr Max⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The charm of Cochrane's writing, specifically with this series, is not reliant on action, gun fights, car chases and explosions, but takes you back to a time where life was slower, where you changed for each meal, where life was regulated by the gong, manners and polite conversation.’ Erastes
