Los secretos de Oxford (Serie Lord Peter Wimsey)

Harriet Vane, a controversial and audacious writer, returns to Oxford to attend a party at her old college. Upon arriving, she finds the faculty shaken and horrified by strange messages and threatening letters, the work of a mysterious lunatic. Harriet begins to investigate, following the trail left by the unknown disturbed individual on the ancient walls of the Gothic city. The nature of the texts leads her to believe that the culprit is someone cultured and refined, perhaps one of the professors. Despite the sharpness of her own instincts, the complexity of the case compels her to seek the assistance of Lord Peter Wimsey, the most elegant detective in England, who is delighted to help his future wife once again. A novel of unsettling enigmas, a work about the myths of Oxford, a reflection on education and the role of women in the society of the time, and an unforgettable love story between two privileged minds, The Secrets of Oxford is a true celebration of wit and beauty that was proclaimed the first feminist mystery novel in history, one of the best mystery novels ever written, and one of the most fascinating works of 20th-century literature.
