Professor Hilary Tamar's young Chancery barrister friends have finished an inheritance case when one of the minor beneficiaries turns up dead. It's assumed to be suicide, and as she wasn't the heiress nobody cares, but when the heiress is involved in an sailing accident in Greece, Hilary realises these were not accidents. This is the second Hilary Tamar novel and although I find them difficult to read, deciphering the legal language to find the wit is worth the effort. This one had some particular favourite scenes with Selena and Julia being invited upon false pretences to what turns out to be an orgy. Just reread this (April, 2009). The mystery is good and the author quite funny, but now the book seems a bit, well, twee is the word, I think. Ultra Brit. For some readers the writing style may take some getting used to, but I found that it quickly became a fast read. The plot is weak but the characters are fun. no reviews | add a review
