Miss Pym Disposes

by Josephine Tey

Miss Lucy Pym visits a celebrated women's physical-training college intending to give a lecture and enjoy a brief rest among its energetic students. Beneath the disciplined routines, she discovers rivalries sharpened by exhaustion and by competition for a coveted appointment. When a student suffers a devastating injury, Lucy must decide whether her observations point to accident, malice, or a truth the institution would rather contain. Subtle and unsettling, this campus mystery suits readers who enjoy enclosed communities, women's friendships, moral ambiguity, and suspense built from the dangerous pressure to excel.
