Death Of A Salesperson

Description for DEATH OF A SALESPERSON:  AND OTHER INTIMELY EXITS by Robert Barnard:

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF MURDER

How many ways can murder be done?  In this brilliant collection, Robert Barnard shows us ingenious killers at work in cozy English villages, sophisticated London neighborhoods, and even in the groves of academe.  Will a fat lady and her son, traveling from one gastronomic experience to the next, eat themselves to death?  What will a dull husband do when he discovers his wife has been living a glamorous life?  What are a group of Oxford dons planning for an unwelcome appointee?  Bizarre twists and clever surprises abound in sixteen masterly stories of simply perfect crimes that are Bernard at his best.
