Caroline Minuscule is the first in Andrew Taylor's William Dougal series, and it's on sale right now at Kindle UK for £0.99. This was Taylor's first mystery, and per SYKM, it won a New Blood Dagger, and was a finalist for an Edgar for Best First Novel. I read this a long time ago in DTB, while I myself was in grad school (Dougal is a grad student, although in a very different way), and enjoyed it - although it's not quite the academic mystery you might expect...

The first book in the brilliant William Dougal crime series, from the bestselling author of The American Boy and The Ashes of London.

William Dougal, a post-graduate expert in the medieval script of Caroline Minuscule, stumbles on the garroted corpse of his tutor - and finds himself embroiled in a hunt for a cache of diamonds, a deadly fairy story in which no one obeys the rules, least of all Dougal's girlfriend Amanda. As the body count rises, the couple pursue both the diamonds and their doom from London, to an East Anglian cathedral close, from Cambridge to a wintry Suffolk estuary.
