Thus Was Adonis Murdered by Sarah Caudwell

A Hilary Tamar Mystery

This book is a witty and intricately plotted murder mystery that follows the adventures of a group of young London barristers who become embroiled in a murder case while on holiday in Venice. The story is narrated by the erudite and humorous Professor Hilary Tamar, who, although never physically present, guides the reader through the twists and turns of the investigation. When one of the barristers is accused of murdering a man found dead in her bed, the group must navigate the complexities of Venetian law, art, and high society to uncover the truth. Combining elements of a classic whodunit with sharp wit and academic flair, the novel is both a homage to and a parody of traditional detective fiction.
