DEATH AT THE PRESIDENTS LODGING - Michael Innes


 










This is Innes's first effort published in 1936.  Its a good mystery even if it gets a bit convoluted toward the end. The President at a university college is murdered and the killer can only be one of his colleagues.

When Innes was good he was good, when he was ordinary he was awful.  He kept publishing stories for another 50 years after this and from the ones I've read he only goes close to this story a couple of times.

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
