Swan Song by Edmund Crispin

3.0

Classic golden age type mystery featuring Gervase Fen, an Oxford don, who is a well known crime solver. The book is set just after World War 2 in Oxford where an opera house is preparing to perform Wagner for the first time since the war but murder soon intervenes. The plot was suitably tricky, the characters all well rounded, and I enjoyed picking up bits and pieces about Wagner while listening. The audio narration was performed by Philip Bird who did a stellar job.
