The Late Scholar (Lord Peter Wimsey/Harriet Vane #4) by Jill Paton Walsh

BECOMING THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF DENVER HAS NOT ENDED THE DETECTIVE PARTNERSHIP OF PETER WIMSEY AND HARRIET VANE . . .

When Peter discovers he has inherited the job of Visitor - that is, the ultimate regulator - of St Severin's College, and the fellows appeal to him to solve a dispute, he and Harriet set off happily to spend some time in Oxford, the city of their engagement and wedding.

But a quarrel about whether to sell an ancient manuscript turns out to be both bitter and lethal. Several of the fellows of St Severin's die unexpectedly and the causes of death bear an uncanny resemblance to the murder methods in Peter Wimsey's past cases - and Harriet Vane's detective novels.
