About “Frequent Hearses”
Written by Robert Bruce Montgomery under the name Edmund Crispin, this is the seventh novel featuring Oxford professor Gervase Fen. Fen visits a film studio advising on a biopic of poet Alexander Pope when young starlet Gloria Scott throws herself to her death from Waterloo Bridge. Fen suspects nothing until it emerges she used a stage name, was pregnant, and that her apartment was searched and her corpse tampered with; a lecherous cameraman is then found poisoned.
