In Jill Paton Walsh's fourth installment in her inspired continuation of Dorothy L. Sayers's acclaimed mysteries, Lord Peter Wimsey and his detective novelist wife, Harriet Vane, revisit their beloved Oxford, where a long and literate courtship finally culminated in their engagement.

To his surprise, Lord Peter, as the Duke of Denver, has been charged with settling a dispute among the Fellows of St. Severin's College, Oxford University. At first, the stalemate seems the result of a simple difference of opinion about a valuable manuscript. Some of the Fellows regard the book as nothing but an insurance liability that should be sold to finance a speculative purchase of land. The voting is evenly balanced. The Warden would normally cast the deciding vote, but he has disappeared. And when several of the Fellows die unexpectedly, Lord Peter and Harriet set off on an investigation to uncover what is really going on at St. Severin's.

With this return to the Oxford of Gaudy Night, which many readers regard as their favorite of Sayers's original series, Jill Paton Walsh revives the wit and brilliant plotting of the Golden Age of detective fiction with The Late Scholar.

Lovely bag
Color: Black
I really love this bag! The size, color, texture & easy access is perfect but it has a bad smell! I’m not sure I can explain the smell! It’s a petroleum chemical smell I hung it up in hopes of airing it out. If that doesn’t work I’ll have to return it. I hope it works for the bag is perfect otherwise!!!

Beautiful, Roomie, Love it!!
Color: Sorrel
Very nice leather handbag and also has a long strap that comes with it so you can use as a crossbow if you would like too. I really love this handbag ,I might buy another one for fall. Just bought this one thru the winter. Know I just bought a new blue bag for Summer. I love my bags! But this bag is made really well. It will hold up for quite some time and it is pretty roomier inside.

Good quality and stylish also. Great purchase.
Color: Wine
This purse arrived timely and without damage. Product was well secured to prevent tears, etc. This purse is exactly what I was wanting. I was needing a purse that a more rectangle shape allowing me to access more easily with my arthritic hands. The leather and workmanship of this purse is very satisfactory. There are several compartments inside, some of which have zippered closures which allows added security. The color I chose is a rich wine red. I am more than pleased with this purse and will purchase again later in other colors.

Absolutely soft leather
Color: Coffee
I ordered the coffee color, absolutely love it.Super soft- I have ordered brands that cost 4xs as much & returned because of stiff leather. The zippers simply glide.I love all the different zipper pockets, I like having a place for everything, my phone fits perfectly in the back side zipper area. The front magnetic for my key fob.Zipper above to get out quick cash.I had a hard time deciding which color I wanted! It's roomy enough inside but not too big where Im going to carry things I dont need. It's nice having 2 straps to trade out- im starting with the guitar strap- like that it is adjustable straps & on swivel hooks.And you can really smell the genuine leather. For my preference I would have liked it to have been 2 to 3 inches shorter height wise as I was looking to replace a few bags I used when flying but this is perfect for an everyday crossbody.This bag looks very well made. Nothing fancy on the inside. Plan on searching for this brand in smaller size and some soft colors for spring & summer.
