Barbara Wilson Love Dies Twice Paperback Book

Cassandra Reilly, an IrishAmerican translator and amateur sleuth, shares a flat in London with her longtime friend, retired bassoonist Nicky Gibbons. Their lives are disrupted when Cassandra attends a lecture on the beguines, laywomen who lived in sisterhood in thirteenthcentury Belgium. The beguines were the subject of a popular historical mystery series by Stella Terwicker who died ten years before, but whose literary estate is still creating problems for those who knew her, including her biographer. Cassandra is soon pulled into investigating a possibly suspicious death, a task that takes her from the Ladies Pond in Londons Hampstead Heath to the medieval city of Bruges to the seacoast of Devon. With Nickys help, Cassandra must unravel a story of desire, lies, and love that stretches back decades to decades to the rabblerousing years of queer liberation and feminist publishing. Sixth in the Cassandra Reilly Mysteries series by Lambdaawardwinning author Barbara Wilson. Ms. Wilsons lesbian globetrotter has a restless nature, a facility for languages, and a lively curiosity about foreign cultures. Toss in her offbeat sense of humor and youve got a terrific road pal."The New York Times | Barbara Wilson Love Dies Twice Paperback Book
