"Another intriguing collection of stories by the Oxpens writers" Katie Fforde
The Bodleian Murders and other Oxford Stories Linora Lawrence Radmilla May Sylvia Vetta Heather Rosser Sheilla Costello 9781780185156 Books
I am so impressed with the consistent high standard achieved by the Oxpens writers. It is rare indeed to find an anthology of different authors in which every single story is beautifully written. That these authors have managed to do it three times in a row is awe-inspiring.I would be hard-put to choose a favourite. I loved the humour in A Visit From Social Services and The Festival of International Art and Scbolarly Culture Oxford and was delighted by Sympathetic Magic and Rural Bliss, but they were all so good, it seems unfair to single out any for special mention.
Well done once again, Oxford writers. I sincerely hope there are more in the pipeline.

The Bodleian Murders and other Oxford Stories Linora Lawrence Radmilla May Sylvia Vetta Heather Rosser Sheilla Costello 9781780185156 Books Reviews
Someone is killing the Keepers of various collections at the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Keepers manage important collections; they are also the candidates for the overall Librarian position, which is open. Someone may be trying to cut down on the competition.
A woman teacher is overshadowed by her high-performance husband, until he informs her that he’s moving on. A homeless man has a story buried in the past that unexpectedly becomes the present. From her window, a teenaged girl sees an Oxford student drop a book. She rescues it and discovers that it is a proscribed book – it’s 1555 and Queen Mary is burning Protestants at the stake. A night-shift worker falls in love while watching a fellow night worker’s reflection in the glass; it doesn’t end well. An antiques dealer is helping a fellow dealer close his shop, and spots a rather valuable painting.
These are a few of the 15 stories published by the OxPen Writers in “The Bodleian Murders and Other Oxford Stories.” The title might give the impression that the stories are all mysteries, but actually only three or four fall into that genre. The others cross a range of genres – romance, contemporary, suspense, and others. What they have in common is the setting – the university city of Oxford in England.
OxPens in the publishing arm of the Oxford Writers Group, founded in 1983 and currently having between 15 and 20 members. Since 2005, in addition to “The Bodleian Murders,” it has published several other story collections “The Sixpenny Debt,” “The Lost College,” “The Midnight Press,” and “The Radcliffe Legacy,” the newest volume in the series. The group has also published five other books.
The stories are light, fun (that is, if you find murder mysteries fun), and enjoyable. And they give a glimpse of Oxford that you don’t see as a visitor or tourist.
