Books like The Mummy Case Mystery (Perennial British Mystery) by Dermot Morrah


At the illustrious Beaufort College in Oxford, the annual Commemoration Night ball sets the scene for a quirky yet suspenseful mystery. A playful prank with a professor’s mummy jolts the evening, but the excitement quickly turns into panic when a sudden fire consumes the hall, claiming the professor’s life—or perhaps the death was staged. As faculty and students scramble for answers, they must piece together clues, question motives, and confront the chilling possibility that the tragedy was no accident. The novel delves into academic life, the thin line between comedy and catastrophe, and an investigation that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.
