Could have sworn it was CS Lewis, but they don't get listed in his

The closest Lewis I can think of is "That Hideous Strength" which is
set in a fictional university.

Tom Sharpe wrote a comic novel "Porterhouse Blue" about Cambridge
There's an Inspector Morse novel by Colin Dexter "The Silent World of
Nicholas Quinn" which involves academics committing murder. Malcolm
Bradbury and David Lodge have each written comic novels about
university life but not AFAIK Oxbridge.

Is that any help?

'Gaudy Night' by Dorothy L Sayers.
One of her best.

I think the Nine Tailors was a lot better.

Yes. I liked that immensely.
