Harriet Vane goes back to Oxford for a college reunion she has spent years dreading, and finds the quadrangles she once loved defaced with anonymous filth: poison-pen letters, a scholar's manuscript ruined beyond repair, effigies burned in the dark. Someone inside the walls of a women's college wants to prove that a woman's mind and a woman's heart cannot live in the same house.
A marriage of two independent and equally irritable intelligences seems to me reckless to the point of insanity.
