The Shortest Way To Hades by Sarah Caudwell
In this witty and intricately plotted mystery, a group of young London barristers becomes entangled in a complex case when one of their number is called upon to advise a group of siblings on a tax matter after the suspicious death of their wealthy aunt. As they delve into the family's affairs, another murder occurs, leading the amateur sleuths to navigate a maze of legal twists, ancient Greek references, and sardonic humor to uncover the truth. Their investigation takes them from the Inns of Court to the Greek Isles, where they must use their legal expertise and deductive skills to solve the case and ensure justice is served.
