nigellicus 's review for:

The Sirens Sang of Murder by Sarah Caudwell
5.0

A deliciously witty and devious tale of murder and tax law featuring a group of good natured young lawyers and their mentor, Hilary Tamar, and Oxford scholar of unspecified gender. I was captivated years ago by an adaptation of one of her books on Radio 4. Wonderful, precise, captivating language. Delightful and funny
