Book Description:
Readers with a lively sense of humor and an appreciation for the fine old family names such as Fortitude Lumpkin will find the latest Peter Shandy mystery to their liking. Balaclava Agriculture College has two problems: the unfortunate discovery of three victims of very foul play and (more importantly) a lawsuit by the greedy heirs of college founder Balaclava Buggins to reclaim part of the college, namely Oozak's Pond. With his usual aplomb and the help of the college community and various bizarre local folk, Professor Shandy solves both problems.

Charlotte MacLeod's zany mysteries are intriguing. I wish she had written many more before she had to stop.
This one features one of my favorite heroes, Peter Shandy.
"When staff and students of Balaclava College assembled on the banks of Oozak's Pond they were not prepared to find a corpse bobbing in the water. They were less prepared to find the corpse bearing an unnerving resemblance to Balaclava Buggins, long-dead founder of the institution. As Professor Shandy struggles to identify the corpse a fresh calamity hits the College when a suit is brought for possession of Oozak's Pond. Worse still, the instigator of the suit and his wife are found dead in bed. Their daughter is married to the Security head and their niece to the Library Director. Shandy is soon struggling in a cat's cradle of clues."
A light-hearted fun mystery as so many of MacLeod's were. This one features Prof. Shandy of Balaclava Agricultural college.
