Another Jonty and Orlando mystery that takes place in the years before WWI and [b:All Lessons Learned 10287109 All Lessons Learned (Cambridge Fellows, #8) Charlie Cochrane https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1365991175l/10287109.SX50.jpg 15188844]. I was a little disappointed by this one. By sending the duo back to Oxford where Orlando was an undergraduate student (or whatever they call it in England), Cochrane had an opportunity to dig up long lost fellow students, professors, etc. Instead there is a little bit about Orlando being afraid he will fail and ruin his reputation, but that's quickly resolved and he never actually encounters anyone he knew back when he was shy and withdrawn. The mystery itself has very low stakes and it is solved without much drama. The resolution is clever but doesn't have much emotional resonance. It's almost too cozy. Always good to visit with the boys, but these novellas are nowhere as strong as the initial eight books in the series.
