Now available as a limited Olive Edition from Harper Perennial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Harriet attends her Oxford reunion, known as the Gaudy, the prim academic setting is haunted by a rash of bizarre pranks: scrawled obscenities, burnt effigies, and poison-pen letters, including one that says, \"Ask your boyfriend with the title if he likes arsenic in his soup.\" Some of the notes threaten murder; all are perfectly ghastly; yet in spite of their scurrilous nature, all are perfectly worded. And Harriet finds herself ensnared in a nightmare of romance and terror, with only the tiniest shreds of clues to challenge her powers of detection, and those of her paramour, the dashing private investigator Lord Peter Wimsey.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eGaudy Night\u003c\/em\u003e stands out even among Miss Sayers’s novels.
