Anthony, Piers: With a Tangled Skein
ISBN: 0345318854

Book Description from Amazon.com
When the man Niobe loved was shot, she learned that she had been the target, in a devious plot of the Devil's. Hoping for revenge, she discovered, too late, how intricate his scheming was, and that he had managed to trap her son and her granddaughter, Luna. Niobe's only chance to save them was to accept a challenge by the Prince of Deceit--a challenge to be decided in Hell and in a maze of Satan's devising!


This is pretty much on par with the rest of the Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony. It's funny, quick witted, well plotted and thoughtful, all at the same time.

I really appreciate Mr. Anthony for making me think about the whole good vs. evil thing. I realize that this is fiction, and I don't believe that there are incarnations of things like Fate, Death, Mother Earth, etc. but it's an amusing way to look at the struggle of good and evil, and to look at the "why" of things.

I'd recommend this book for anyone in their late teens and up. While there are sexual references and some discussion of it, there's really only one sex scene, and I didn't find it overly graphic.
