A review by teecee86
Guilty by Definition by Susie Dent

4.0

A cleverly plotted murder mystery which revolves around Dent’s specialities – etymology and lexicography. The main characters work in Oxford at the Clarendon English Dictionary which gives Dent the freedom to indulge her passion of educating her readers on rare and interesting words and their provenance, sometimes to a distracting level of frequency. Despite this, the writing is excellent, and the overall story is great. I hope Dent continues crime writing as this is definitely promising for the future.
My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley. This review was written voluntarily and is entirely my own unbiased opinion.
