Love Lies Bleeding (novel)
- Love Lies Bleeding (novel)
"Love Lies Bleeding" is a detective novel by Edmund Crispin first published in 1948. Set in the post-war period in and around a public school in the vicinity of Stratford-upon-Avon, it is about the accidental discovery of old manuscripts which contain Shakespeare's long-lost play, "Love's Labour's Won", and the subsequent hunt for those manuscripts, in the course of which several people are murdered. Collaborating with the local police, Oxford don Gervase Fen, a Professor of English who happens to be the guest of honour at the school's Speech Day, can solve the case at the same weekend.
