Set to have a vacation away from her home life and the tax man, young barrister Julia Larwood takes a trip to Italy with her art-loving boyfriend. But when her personal copy of the current Finance Act is found a few meters away from a dead body, Julia finds herself caught up in a complex fight against the Inland Revenue. Fortunately, she’s able to call on her fellow colleagues who enlist the help of their friend Oxford professor Hilary Tamar. However, all is not what it seems.

Poor narration choices mar a great book
Revisado: 08-06-23
Sarah Caudwell’s novels are delights, but this reader, alas, is not. She misses the way that Hilary Tamar’s pompous self-regard is frequently the butt of the joke, and as someone else noted, her vocal rendition of the prim and proper Ragwort is a complete misfire.
The book needs a narrator as suited to the material as Barbara Rosenblatt is to the Amelia Peabody novels — another series in which you have to sell the implicit as well as the explicit humor.
