Welcome to Litsy!

The third book is this series is just as fun and clever as the first two. But, I have a love/hate relationship with how short these books are (they‘re less than 300 pages) - I love that I can devour them but I hate that now it means I only have 1 book left 😭😭😭 I‘m saving it for a palate cleanser between heavy reads because the humor makes me laugh out loud (oh, Julia 😂). I highly recommend these books for a good, fun read 👍

Sarah Caudwell is probably my favorite mystery writer. Think of her 4 novels as Oscar Wilde meets Dorothy Sayers--wit & erudition. Above, two young barristers have decided to make a fortune writing a romance (for obvious reasons, I loved that). The narrator of her novels, Hilary, is carefully gender-neutral. Caudwell herself was an early gender warrior as one of the first women at the Chancery Bar. #legalmystery. #mystery.
