Death Writ Large Returning to the ancient, rain-streaked walls of Oxford, Susie Dent’s second outing in her linguistic mystery series proves that her debut was no fluke. The core ensemble—Martha, Oliver, Alex, and Safi—are beginning to settle into their skin, their shifting dynamics and their relationships are evolving.
