Summary
Fisher College at Cambridge lies between St John’s and Trinity Colleges. Here one morning the bed makers and gyps, clamouring for admission on the last day of term were admitted to find, lying across the path, the body of one of the college porters.
The murder of the porter begins a mystery which deepens when it is found that the unpopular Dean of the college is missing. The search for the murderer is conducted in part by the police and partly by the Vice President of Fisher College Sir Richard Cherrington, an eminent but slightly eccentric archaeologist with a penchant for amateur detection.

Good stuff
This is a good tale, but I did not write this as soon as I had finish it so as I can't remember much about it there was not much that was memorable I suppose. I do remember though that I enjoyed it. I think it was Sir Ambrose (?) who seemed sympathetic amateur detective solving a puzzling who dunnit

Surprisingly good
Didn't have high expectations as never heard of the author, narrator or book. After a rather ponderous first couple of hours, it became intriguing. Became more than just an example of cultural history. Multi-viewpoint perspective, very contemporary.

THE CAMBRIDGE MURDERS
When I started the audiobook I thought it was great but as I'm not a uni person I kept getting confused by who was who. I'm still not sure who actually did the murder maybe I'll have to listen to the audiobook again 😣😣😣

Couldn't put it down, so to speak.
Loved the easy pace of the story especially the changes in the narrators accent when changing characters. Enjoyed returning to sections to understand complicated clues. Great for me as I also like Agather Christie. I am now looking for more by this author.

A scholarly gem
Glyn Daniel is an unsung master of the (later) Golden Age of detective fiction. But what is a Cambridge archaeology profeesor

Happy memories
Would you listen to The Cambridge Murders again? Why?
Yes. I bought this because I was taught by Glyn Daniels at Cambridge in the 1970s. His lectures would often have made very good after dinner speeches. It is such a good picture of Cambridge at the time, and the plot is clever too. He was a charming and erudite man and his book shows that well.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Cambridge Murders?
The discovery of the body in the trunk - it was fairly obvious it must be there, but it was still dramatic.
Which character – as performed by Peter Wickham – was your favourite?
I enjoyed all of them.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Ill in bed after a stay in hospital, it made a difficult day much easier.
