The Sibyl in Her Grave by Sarah Caudwell
Is money really the root of all evil? Julia Larwood's aunt Regina needs help. It seems she and two friends pooled their modest resources and on the advice of another friend, invested in equities - big risk, but big return. And now the tax man is demanding his cut. The only problem is that Aunt Regina and her friends have already spent the money. The real question, however, is how did three amateur investors make a thousand percent profit in record time? That's a question which could be answered by psychic counsellor isabella del Comino, unpopular neighbour to Aunt Regina, but before she can give any answers she is found dead in her drawing room, her pet vulture acting as guardian over her corpse. That's when Julia Larwood calls in her old friend and mentor, Hilary Tamar, to follow a money trail that connects Aunt Regina and her friends to what appears to be capital fraud - and capital crime...
'The Sibyl in her Grave is a superbly constructed novelIt is droll and wickedly funny, yet poignant. Most important, like any fine mystery, it keeps the reader guessing until the very end.' - Faye Kellerman; 'This is the last novel we will have from Sarah Caudwell; like all her marvellous books it combines wit and forbearance, intellect and passion, above all, humour and perfection of language.' - Amanda Cross; 'Without doubt, one of the funniest crime writers - ever!' - Mike Ripley
