Murder at Spindle Manor by Morgan Stang
And here's the latest SPFBO review!
A very well-written story with plenty of atmosphere, and the relationships – both new and old – being particularly well done.

Reading about Tolkien's literary reception is quite funny.
"juvenile trash"
"Oh God, no more elves."
"All the characters are boys masquerading as adult heroes ... and will never come to puberty"

The Webley Mk V was the standard British service revolver at the outbreak of the #FWW. This one, IWM FIR 11492, belonged to none other than J R R Tolkien, who served at the Somme with 11th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30034679
South Bend News-Times Apr 7 1922 https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87055779/1922-04-07/ed-1/seq-24/ SAN MATEO. Calif., April 1- Ex-doughboys, let's give three cheers for one of the greatest heroes of the world war! He's Dr. Dwight Pierce, who lives here. He didn't capture a machinegun nest single-handed or run with dispatches under shell fire. But he invented a method of exterminating cooties that doesn't cause your uniform to shrink so it looks as if had been made for your kid brother. He's just completed a book on "Sanitary Entomology," devoted to cooties and cooties' kindred. Pierce, an entomologist, was employed by the government during the war to investigate disease-carrying vermin. More Dangerous Than Gas. He says the cootie was more dangerous than lethal gas or high-explosive bombs. Because cooties carried typhus and trench fever. When Pierce had to have a human subject to experiment on in finding a delousing method, an aged man, with a son in the army, submitted himself. The subject had to undergo frightful pain, but he bore it stoically, thinking he would make life easier for his son overseas and his son's comrades. The experiments resulted in s method of dry cleaning that kills the cooties but saves the uniform. Again, buddies, three cheers for the cootie fighter!
Did Cooties save Tolkien, allowing him to create #LOTR? In late 1916 Tolkien contracted trench fever and spent rest of #WWI in and out of hospitals. Jul 16 1919 #Tolkien demobilized, with temporary disability pension due to Trench Fever long hauler symptoms. Pic also shows his Webley .455 Mark VI
