Dean, S.F.X. By Frequent Anguish (New York: Walker, 1982) 211 p.
In this academic mystery the murder takes place in the college library.  The history and bizarre architecture of the library is described on p. 104-105.  The librarian is “Frances Anderson, a patient, kindly, endlessly obliging woman.” (p.88).
The cellist in a sextet hears a middle C while trying to tune.  The C turns out to be a noise produced by the faulty elevator.  The clue provided by the elevator leads to the murderer.
