I started reading Envious Casca 'cuz it's Christmas and I wanted a light mystery but was disappointed as all the characters hate each other . I read Footsteps in the Dark awhile ago and loved it , are there any other books like that by her or do the characters generally follow the patterns of the ones in Envious Casaca? Also why is it called Envious Casca?

Also you can skip, but they are relatively good: Civil Contract and Powder and Patch, Cousin Kate, .

My favorites are:
Cotillion
The Nonesuch
Sprig Muslin
Reluctant Widow
Frederica
Lady of Quality
These Old Shades
Black Sheep
Venetia
False Colours
Why Shoot a Butler?
The Grand Sophy
They Found Him Dead
The Corinthian
The Talisman Ring
And I have listened to all of them many times over the years.

Envious casca is a quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, 'See the wound that envious Casca made. Through this hole beloved Brutus stabbed.'. They are in Marc Anthony's funeral oration about those who stabbed Caesar to death his so called friends and colleagues un an effort to rile up the mob and senate to avenge Caesar's death and kill the conspirators and it all works wonderfully....?
