Book Description

CONTINUING THE DEFINITIVE SERIES OF CLASSIC MYSTERIES BY AMERICAN MYSTERY AND NERO WOLFE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR CHARLOTTE MacLEOD

For years, Professor Peter Shandy has been badgered by Jemima Ames, Assistant Librarian and Annual Chairperson, to decorate his campus home for the Grand Illumination which is Balaclava Agricultural College's main fund-raising event. Now he can hold out no longer.

Goaded to madness, he buries his small brick house under an avalanche of plastic reindeer, flashing lights, and fake Santa Clauses. Hooks up an amplifier blaring "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth," locks the switches at "on," and escapes to sea on a tramp steamer.

Shipwrecked and conscience-stricken, he crawls back to face his irate colleagues, and finds Jemima Ames dead on his living room floor. Police and security guards say it's an accident; Shandy says it's murder. President Thorkjeld Svenson says he'd better find out the truth without wrecking the Illumination...or the next corpse will be Shandy's. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Ingram

Because Christmas is big business at Balaclava Agricultural College, the authorities quickly agree in ruling the death of a faculty wife--sprawled out on Professor Peter Shandy's living room floor--an accident, although Shandy is not convinced. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny mystery, Nov 4 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Rest You Merry (Mass Market Paperback)
I have alsways enjoyed spoofs obout Christmas, and this one had me laughing so hard that I cried. Prof. Peter Shandy did what I always wanted to do about December 23rd, when the pressures of this "giving season" are really getting to me. It is also a really good mystery with a plot, cleverly drawn characters and a satisfactor ending. I recommend it highly (especially in the third week of December).
