Reviews
Mysticism, murder and mystery in ancient Delphi: Marie Savage weaves intrigue and suspense into wonderfully researched historical fiction while introducing the reader to Althaia, a spirited Athenian woman with a flair for forensic detection. -- Elisabeth Storrs, author of The Wedding Shroud and The Golden Dice
Oracles of Delphiis an original and compelling mystery. Savage's complex characters and deft writing shine as she pulls readers into the fascinating world of fourth century B.C. Greece. A wonderful debut!-- Sarah Wisseman, author of the forthcoming Burnt Siena Flora Garibaldi art conservation mystery and the Lisa Donahue archaeological mystery series
It is hard to make a female character both strong and vulnerable, but Marie Savage has done just that with Althaia of Athens. Well done! -- Cynthia Graham, author of the forthcoming Beneath Still Waters
Oracles is a good read with distinctive, well-developed characters, and a thoughtful glimpse into a vanished culture. -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch
