MURDER IN ACADEME: A 1951 Philip Bryce story (Chief Inspector Bryce Mysteries Book 11) Kindle Edition

by Peter Zander-Howell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (373)
The Master of a Cambridge college is killed – in an unusual way. Because of the man's links to the Secret Intelligence Service, a very senior officer with security clearance is required to lead the investigation. Chief Superintendent Bryce, an old Cambridge man himself, is the obvious choice.
The time of the murder, and the design of the old college buildings, make it almost impossible for the killer to be an outsider. But that still leaves some two hundred and fifty students and staff.
Bryce's logical mind leads him to concentrate on the college's eleven remaining fellows and four graduate students. But few had the opportunity, and nobody has an obvious motive.
As in most closed academic institutions, bickering (sometimes over some quite trivial matter) was almost the norm in the College Council, the governing body of the college made up of the Master and Fellows. But however strongly the parties felt, could any such disagreement have really led one man to kill another?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Peter Zander-Howell (a pen name) lives with his wife in East Anglia, U.K. They have three children and four grandchildren.

Deciding to get out of the rat-race, Peter took very early retirement from his management role in a very large company. Then, far too young to retire completely and wanting to keep his mind occupied, he started a small and successful business. Twenty years later he sold that business, and has now embarked on a third career as an author.

During his first two careers, Peter served as a magistrate for thirty-four years.

All his stories are set in England between 1936 and 1952, and are written in homage to the “Golden Age of Detective Fiction”.

Most are also available in Spanish (translated by Kindle Translate).

There are two series, and five books which are not part of a series:

The Philip Bryce series set in the 1940s and 1950s. 15 books (each book stands alone)

The David Adair series set in the 1930s and 1940s. 6 books (each stands alone)

Five other books, all set in the 1930s.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another great storyline - how does the writer do it
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2025

    I’ve only recently discovered this wonderful writer of crime and can’t get enough of him. Every book including this one is based in a very different world and I find I’ve learned so much from within each area. I also love the old world charm of the police and the characters in general. Everything seems to be done in the correct order and way. The relationships that have grown between the detectives is great and I look forward to continuing my jaunt through the world of Mr Howell.

    Well I've read this & his London Club murders. Workmanlike performances but pretty uninspiring. In both cases, a likely suspect emerges who - lo and behold - turns out to be the murderer. No suspense, no twists or turns, no mystery.

    Excellent as always. I suppose you could call it a police procedural but there is so much more to it and it has a touch of humanity in the story and the extra detail around each character. I find these novels deeply absorbing and very well written.

    This was really good and I honestly would not have guessed who had done it. So far, there isn't one of this series that I haven't enjoyed!
