Product Description

From Library Journal
Ostensibly a publisher's translator, Cassandra Reilly labors only to travel (as in Gaudi Afternoon , Seal Pr.-Feminist, 1990). The middle-aged, London-based lesbian, presently on her way to China by way of Budapest, encounters a vibrant, seventyish woman and her nubile granddaughter on the train. Irrepressible Gladys Bentwhistle, soon accused of murdering an ancient health spa owner in Transylvania, begs waggish Cassandra (a speaker of Romanian?) for help. Cassandra, her friend Jacqueline ("Jack"), and the potential conquest Eva then enter the fray. This amateur has a mind like a steel trap, a literate, uplifting voice, and a wicked sense of humor. Great fun.

Terrific and engaging,
By Yoga Mofo "DTP" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trouble in Transylvania (Paperback)
I stumbled upon this book at a library sale. Being of Hungarian heritage, I could not resist the title. The book is much more than a terrific mystery, it is a study in linguistics! For those of us nerds who enjoy languages, this work provides inspiration for further exploration. I broke out my Berlitz copy of Hungarian and tried to improve my understanding of this nearly impossible language. Wilson makes learning Hungarian an engaging enterprise!I love Wilson's writing style and will seek out more of her books. She is a brilliant writer with a unique viewpoint. Although I'm not a lesbian, it is refreshing to read a book with strong female characters, to "hear" descriptions of females that are positive regarding body types and sizes, and to read an author who sees the beauty inherent to various Eastern European cultures. This is a good book for all fans of mysteries, most notably those who are tired of the usual settings in American cities or foggy London. 5 of 7 people found the following review helpful
