Miss Lucy Pym, a popular English psychologist, is guest lecturer at a physical training college. The year's term is nearly over, and Miss Pym -- inquisitive and observant -- detects a furtiveness in the behavior of one student during a final exam. She prevents the girl from cheating by destroying her crib notes.

Like most of Tey's work, this is not a mystery in the usual sense. The term "crime drama" might fit, except it has the wrong connotations. Basically she writes novels that involve crime, but they're mostly about people, and generally very interesting and/or lovable people. I've read this book so man...
