Today, I completed Thus Was Adonis Murdered by Sarah Caudwell. Purchased last year from Kobo for 79 cents. Very engaging cozy murder mystery. The author displays tremendous skill crafting each sentence. Many synonymous sidebars along with its large vocabulary, including Latin, make this especially pleasing to those readers looking for something with a higher grade level than many typical of its genre. However, she did use a technique I find unpleasant in the final reveal.
Overall, it was well done. I consider it a good read whenever I have to grab my Latin dictionary off the shelf. Rated B [4 stars].
Next will be something in the Star Wars universe.
