This is a lovely, witty play. I particularly enjoyed several unexpected twists in the story!

I read Tragedy at Cambria on the recommendation of a friend, taking a break from my usual detective mysteries and military histories. (There was an omen: the first ever use of armor was during World War One at Cambrai.) I stumbled onto a well written play with a powerful twisty plotline. Lyon's wordsmithing, turn of phrase, and word selection are superb. The dialog flows and kept me thoroughly engaged. The characters were alive in print, and I hope that they will see the stage.

The writing style was interesting and there were several surprises in the story. I look forward to reading Ms. Lyons' next book!
