Shortest Way to Hades | Sarah L Caudwell

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Inheritance becomes deadly in this gripping literary puzzle--the second installment of the Hilary Tamar mysteries that began with Thus Was Adonis Murdered. Foreword by A. J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window Die first, pay later. It seemed the perfect way to avoid three million in taxes on a five-million-pound estate: change the trust arrangement. Everyone in the family agreed to support the heiress, the ravishing raven-haired Camilla Galloway, in her court petition--except dreary Cousin Deirdre, who suddenly demanded a small fortune for her signature. Then Deirdre had a terrible accident. That was when the young London barristers handling the trust--Cantrip, Selena, Timothy, Ragwort, and Julia--summoned their Oxford friend Professor Hilary Tamar to Lincoln's Inn. Julia thinks it's murder. Hilary demurs. Why didn't the heiress die? But when the accidents escalate and they learn of the naked lunch at Uncle Rupert's, Hilary the Scholar embarks on the most perilous quest of all: the truth. Don't miss any of Sarah Caudwell's riveting Hilary Tamar mysteries: THUS WAS ADONIS MURDERED - THE SHORTEST WAY TO HADES - THE SIRENS SANG OF MURDER - THE SIBYL IN HER GRAVE

Shortest Way to Hades | Sarah L Caudwell

It's possible that I should have got out of bed in a timely manner instead of finishing this book, but consider: little sleep, warm duvet, issues with the heating, good book. I think my defence is established.

It was an excellent companion for a lazy Saturday morning/afternoon, continuing to be as witty and fun. This one I did not solve on my own, though I admit in retrospect that the clues were all there.

shanaqui I actually have a different cover in the paperback edition, which matches the cover I have for the first book, which I am therefore going to use in my bingo card. I find this cover too generic and I don't really get why this particular design. Still, the occasion of me actually staying in bed until 1:45pm has been duly recorded for my disbelieving wife (who is out doing chores and thus cannot witness it).

Now to get online and play FFXIV, though! 2mo
