THE WEIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE

Highbrow exercise, this, in super-literate whodunit, whose beguilment of bizarre incidents has to do with the killing of a professor at an English provincial university by a meteor. Appleby with his mature technique has much topdressing to x-ray before he can get to the roots -- in a welter of eccentric pedagogues, capricious characters, intermural jealousies, intellectual ingenuity and arrogance.
