The first book in the acclaimed Cornish Trilogy. [A] darkly funny scuttle through academes more covert passageway . . . saucy stuff indeed.Kirkus Reviews Davies weaves together the destinies of this remarkable cast of characters, creating a wise and witty portrait of love, murder, and scholarship at a modern university in this first book ofThe Cornish Trilogy. A goodhearted priest and scholar, a professor with a passion for the darker side of medieval psychology, a defrocked monk, and a rich young businessman who inherits some troublesome paintings are all helplessly beguiled by the same coed. The story is set in motion by the death of eccentric art patron and collector Francis Cornish. Hollier, McVarish, and Darcourt are the executors of Cornishs complicated will, which includes material that Hollier wants for his studies. The deceaseds nephew, Arthur Cornish, stands to inherit the fortune. Rebel Angels is an enlarging and engaging marvel . . . one does not read this book to be surprised but rather to ponder the ideas its characters encounter in their lives and their readings. It ends like all good comedies end it proceeds in a manner both picaresque and poignant (AllReaders.com). A compelling performance.Library Journal
