Description: Jane LangtonTHE SHORTEST DAY:MURDER AT THE REVELSa HOMER KELLY Mystery Viking Penguin (1995) — first printing CONDITION: GOOD hardcover book (or better), with old price mark on front flyleaf. Stain on the jacket, but on the inside back. Appears as though dampness might have caused the green dye in the hard cover to spread a bit. In the midst of the traditional Christmas Revels in Cambridge, the jealous husband of an attractive stage director turns the pageantry into an unhappy affair, bringing Homer Kelly to the scene in his eleventh case. Commentaries on line: Homelessness and a series of murders amongst the cast and crew of the Revels keep the plot moving in an erudite novel that is structured like the mummer's play that is a core piece of the Revels. Well plotted academic setting murder mystery #11 in the Homer Kelly series.Homer Kelly series - In Cambridge, Mass., the annual Christmas Revels celebrating the Winter Solstice are being meticulously planned by beauteous Sarah Bailey, whose obsessively jealous husband, Morgan, an ornithologist, is clearly pinpointed as the deranged killer of all her imagined suitors. As a folksinger, an attorney and a dancer are dispatched with grisly efficiency, the self-satisfied Homer ignores the suspicions of demure, astute Mary. Meanwhile, much of Harvard's campus is taken over by activists as a well-organized tent city is erected by the homeless of Cambridge, under the direction of a professional protestor whose cynical manipulation of the media reaches new heights of black humor. ______________________ {I'll always combine shipping costs and refund any excess shipping charges for multiple-copy book orders.}For all "buy it now" items, you may want to use ADD TO CART if you plan to order more than one item at the same time.______________ WOW!
