The Death of a Much-Travelled Woman

And Other Adventures with Cassandra Reilly

Barbara Wilson (2)

The Death of a Much-Travelled Woman gathers in one volume the exploits and mishaps of the globetrotting Cassandra Reilly. In these nine madcap investigations, Cassandra journeys to such varied locations as Helsinki, Hawaii, Vladivostock, Reykjavik, and the English countryside. The crimes Cassandra encounters are engagingly literary, with more than a dash of satire aimed at publishers, editors, writers, and of course, translators.

From Library Journal

Spanish translator, lesbian, and amateur detective Cassandra Reilly, last seen in Trouble in Transylvania (LJ 10/1/93), returns in this collection of nine peripatetic short stories. From Helsinki to Hawaii to Hamburg, Cassandra solves mysteries, mostly murderous, among her far-flung acquaintances. Most of the stories touch upon the world of publishing, including a murder at a book fair, the theft of a writer’s identity, and a writers’ conference that turns deadly. Wilson takes the opportunity lightly to satirize the literary world with some thinly veiled humorous portraits of real-life personalities and publishing politics. The literate and likable Cassandra is a pleasant traveling companion who approaches crime among her friends with humor and compasson. With well-drawn characters and colorful settings, this collection of light mysteries is recommended for libraries with other Cassandra Reilly books and for mystery fans of any orientation.?Devon Thomas, Highland Township P.L., MI
