The author chronicles the final months of the life of her close friend and fellow teacher, in this unique and unforgettable memoir. When fifty-six-year-old Richard is diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and inoperable brain cancer, his colleague and friend Janet Somerville begins to document his life in a personal, months-long letter to him, to one day share with his wife and daughters. Teaching together at a Toronto boys' school, Janet and Richard bonded over their love of musical theater and literature. And now that Richard is nearing his end, it is these memories that comfort both of them through the good days and the bad. Peppered with theatrical references and inside jokes--from Shakespeare to Rodgers and Hammerstein, Monty Python to Avenue Q--the letter offers a touching glimpse into Richard's life. During his treatment, Janet shares with him the day-to-day activities of the school, including the unfiltered witticisms that fall from the mouths of teenage boys. Together they recollect stories of school choir trips, plays directed, and books read. Richard's positive attitude--his playfulness and graciousness--shines through the pages. How Midsummer Night is a beautiful tribute to a man who made his mark on his family and the community around him--a man who was so much more than just another teacher, so much more than just another friend.

From a British mystery author known as "the master of the whodunnit," an amateur detective delights in solving murders at an English boys' school. Prof. Gervase Fen of Oxford University is honored to award the prizes at the Speech Day ceremonies at Castrevenford High School. As it turns out, the headmaster's selection of the part-time sleuth as a presenter is most fortuitous indeed. For the night before the big event, two of the school's staff members are murdered . . . Of course, Fen is happy to do some investigating, if only to get more fodder for the crime novel he's writing. Between the kidnapping, the student romances, and the accidental discovery of a long-lost Shakespearian manuscript, the eccentric Oxford don certainly gets some food for thought. But that's all in a day's work for an amateur detective with a penchant for literary allusions and an uncanny knack for solving the unsolvable. Praise for the mysteries of Edmund Crispin "A marvellous comic sense." --P. D. James, New York Times-bestselling author of the Inspector Adam Dalgliesh series "Master of fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek mystery novels, a blend of John Dickson Carr, Michael Innes, M.R. James, and the Marx Brothers." --Anthony Boucher, author of the Fergus O'Breen series "An absolute must for devotees of cultivated crime fiction." --Kirkus Reviews "One of the most literate mystery writers of the twentieth century." --The Boston Globe "Beneath a formidable exterior he had unsuspected depths of frivolity." --Philip Larkin, poet and author of A Girl in Winter "One of the last exponents of the classical English detective story." --The Times (London)

With Scotland Yard unable to make sense of the crime, Fen stands ready to step in. Whether he's chasing butterflies or catching criminals, it's all the same to this amateur sleuth with a penchant for literary allusions and an uncanny knack for solving the unsolvable: like why a small-town church musician would be mixed up with a local coven of witches--or a spy ring of Nazi sympathizers?

Whoever the letter writer is, they have enough dirty laundry on the citizens of the quaint village to make the once-bucolic spot a scary place to set foot.
