But as the case escalates rapidly from extortion to murder, Arabella's life, as well as her fortune, hangs precariously in the balance. . .Praise For Death And The Courtesan"Saucy. . .the effervescent and free-thinking Arabella is a delightful heroine."The Bellingham Herald" Historical mystery readers fond of arch and ribald takes on the genre will best appreciate Christie's debut."
