Editorial : Praise for Death Ex Machina
"Corby blends the history lesson so well into the story that you won't even need a spoonful of sugar."
—San Jose Mercury News
“This fifth mystery in the series moves from shock to shock, each one amplified by the fact that every prank and accident is painted on the scenery wall onstage almost immediately afterward. Corby is adept at delineating ancient Greece without sounding professorial. This works on every level.”
—Booklist, Starred Review
“Corby again manages to effortlessly integrate laugh-out-loud humor into a fairly clued puzzle.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Exciting, intriguing and erotic."
—Gumshoe Review
"Death Ex Machina is an entertaining entry in this historical series. The characters are nicely developed, and Nicolaos and Diotma are e
A theatrical murder sends classical Athens into an uproar
Athens, 459 BC: It’s the time of the Great Dionysia, the largest arts festival of the ancient world, held each year in honor of Dionysos, the god of wine. But there’s a problem: A ghost is haunting Athens’s grand theater. Nicolaos and the priestess Diotima, his clever partner in sleuthing (and now in matrimony), are hired to exorcise the ghost, but secretly suspect that a human saboteur is operating behind the scenes.
Then one of the actors is found hanged from the machine used to carry actors through the air when they play the part of gods. It’s quite a theatrical murder. As Nico and Diotima dig into the actor’s past, they discover enough suspects to fill a theater. As the festival approaches and pressure mounts on all sides, can they hunt down the killer in time? Or will they simply have to hope for a deus ex machina?
From the Hardcover edition.
Japanese naturalism wouldn't have existed without him. I am using the book to help better document what Ford did during the 1903-1927 time frame, but it also contains excellent information on the later dates.. We have the wife who is unappreciated and dreams of a love worthy of her lust; we have the inconsiderate, uncaring husband; we have the oblivious, hyper-affectionate mother. The only thing I didn't like was that it had no recipe for sugar water, pollen substitute or anything like that. I purchased this book to learn more about the effects of communication technology on interpersonal communication. I really enjoyed the romance story combined with a murder/mystery plotline made this a novelty for someone who reads a lot of romance suspense.
Warning: I’d suggest that anyone who is not much for reading about graphic violence, this story has a lot of graphic battle scenes and images. It guide us trought all the PMP process flow in a very didatic way.. You will love it
