Nice to catch up with Jonty and Orlando as they put their heads together to solve another mystery. It's especially entertaining to watch them interact with staff and students at the dreaded “college next door” to their own beloved St. Bride's and realize that the snobbery goes in both directions. Secondary characters we've grown to know and love make their appearances and the whole thing is resolved without much trauma for the Fellows (who suffered enough during The Great War anyway). I think this novella length is perfect for the series; some of the other books dragged a bit or added unnecessary subplots. I'm happy to check in with these charming gentlemen every few years and see what new ways they've discovered to affectionately insult each other while remaining passionately (if discretely) in love.
