5.0 out of 5 stars The best historical crime ever!, 10 May 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Aristotle Detective (Paperback)

So much historical crime seems dumbed down, but this is so well researched, with literary jokes interwoven into the text. Not to mention a brilliant piece of detection from Aristotle himself, who unravels the plot most satisfyingly and you kick yourself for not getting it first!

4.0 out of 5 stars Murder in Athens, 24 Jun 2003

By	Magicmoon (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Aristotle Detective (Paperback)

Young Stephanos, the heir to an impoverished family is forced into defending his exiled cousin Philemon from a charge of murder. At first glance the charge seems absurd; Philemon can never return to Athens and some of the witnesses testimonies are dubious to say the least. Someone somewhere is determind to frame Philemon for the crime and in desperation Stephanos turns to his former tutor Aristotle for advice. Things become even more complicated when it transpires that Philemon has indeed be seen locally and even worse has a strong motive for killing the victim. Stephanos has to prepare a defence, unsure of whether to believe his cousin or not, and take on the powerful, well respected victim's family.
The book is well writen and Ms Doody has a real feel for the historical period. The only criticism I would make is that a glossary of terms used would be helpful to those unfamiliar with Athenian politics and the justice system.
