The Weight of the Evidence (1944)

Blurb:

My review:

Map of Nesfield University—West Court and surrounding buildings; with Tower over

From beginning to end, this Appleby tale set in a university is a sheer delight to read, due to the excellent dialogue, the humour, the interesting and amusing characters, and the maze of bizarre and mystifying events, involving meteorites, love affairs and fales beards.  In some respects, it is very similar to Carr’s Arabian Nights Murder.  Although Innes proves himself adept at false theories and misleading clues, the ending, however, is an anti-climax.
