Praise for Sarah Caudwell’s Outstanding Novels:
The Sibyl In Her Grave
“This is the last novel we will have from Sarah Caudwell; like all her marvelous books, it combines wit and forbearance, intellect and passion, above all, humor and perfection of language. Sarah set out to write a classic English village crime story, complete with vicar and mad virgin, and here it is, together with Hilary Tamar and the brilliant, sexy, young lawyers at the Chancery Bar. I hardly know whether to cry for joy at their return, or to weep for the finality of this bittersweet adventure.”—Amanda Cross
“The Sibyl in Her Grave is a superbly constructed novel. It is droll and wickedly funny, yet poignant. Most important, like any fine mystery, it keeps the reader guessing until the very end.”—Faye Kellerman
Thus Was Adonis Murdered
“A tour de force . . . a hilarious comedy of manners.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“A finely honed, icily witty gem of detective fiction.”—Mystery News
The Shortest Way To Hades
“This column somehow missed Thus Was Adonis Murdered a few years ago. But if it was as good as Ms. Caudwell’s second book, the loss was ours. . . . The Shortest Way to Hades is an utterly delightful book . . . it will be irresistible to all who enjoy polished, civilized prose.”—The New York Times Book Review
The Sirens Sang Of Murder
“Oh, rapture! Hilary and the gang are back. It’s been too long but it was worth the wait. The Sirens Sang of Murder is an absolute joy.”—
Elizabeth Peters
