The Death of a Much-Travelled Woman: and Other Adventures with Cassandra Reilly

Catalog Number: 
Book, Wilson, Barbara
Date: 
September 1998
Edition: 
1
Abstract: 
"Translator-sleuth Cassandra Reilly takes off after new literary adventures around the globe! 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 thefts, murders, and other crimes she's called on to help solve are engagingly literary, with more than a dash of satire aimed at publishers, editors, writers, and of course, translators. Goodhearted, witty, and rakishly unabashedly lesbian, Cassandra Reilly is a wonderful travelling companion for armchair or train compartment."

Notes: 
A few pages throughout the book appear to have accidentally been left out due to printing/typesetting issues--either that, or it's a strange meta-fiction thing? This cataloger subscribes to the former theory.
