Description
|
|
|
|
Professor Neil Kelly is passionate about language, about his scholarly work on John Donne, and about teaching at his venerable New England college, although he's resigned to the idea that his chance for more personal passions has passed. Yet he reckoned without the vibrant, brilliant Priscilla Lacey—his prize student and the daughter of his oldest friend—who against all odds has fallen wildly in love with him. With a mixture of joy and terror, he allows Priscilla to begin thawing his emotional frost. And when she is murdered, Kelly roars to life, abandoning his scholarly pursuits and bending his ferocious intellect to tracking down her killer. "Murder is often employed as a peg on which to hang a story," said the San Diego Union-Tribune of this first Neil Kelly mystery, "but in By Frequent Anguish it becomes what it actually is: a gut-wrenching, world-shattering tragedy for all concerned, including the murderer." This literate mystery from independent New York bookstore publisher Felony & Mayhem is from their "Traditional" category: classy cozies with little gunplay or gore, but often a fair amount of humor and—usually—an intrepid amateur sleuth.
