Thus was Adonis Murdered by Sarah Caudwell
This has been on my TBR list since reading a recommendation on a long ago MR thread. Although I'm only 20% along, it is the most charming and hilarious book I've come across since first discovering Wodehouse. Since there are only four books in Caudwell's Hilary Tamar series, I know to pace myself. It is a book I will surely re-read just for the sheer joy in the highly stylized writing rich with satire, irony, literary allusions, and truly funny Shakespeare jokes.
It is possible that you may not like it if you are not so enchanted with British humour. Although that is hard to imagine.
