When Flavia Albia’s aedile husband Tiberius goes out of town to attend on his dying sister, Albia is left with the mess of sorting out his construction company’s building projects and finding a serial killer in the gardens that Julius Caesar donated to the people over a century ago.

REVIEW of The Ides of April, by Lindsey Davis
If you’ve followed this blog, you’ll know that I read (and reviewed) all twenty novels in Lindsey Davis’ Marcus Didius Falco series. I was seriously bummed that Nemesis was the last one, and I may have even named my third child Marcus after Falco…. Imagine my delight at discovering that she has written a spin-off…

REVIEW of Alexandria & Nemesis, by Lindsey Davis
I’ve been putting off writing this post for quite some time because it marks a monumentally sad occasion. I have finished the Marcus Didius Falco series by Lindsey Davis–all twenty books.

REVIEW of One Virgin Too Many, and Ode to a Banker, by Lindsey Davis
Books 11 and 12 of the Marcus Didius Falco series continue to defy disappointment. In One Virgin Too Many, Vespasian rewards Marcus with middle class status at long last! Along with the new rank comes a new position, Procurator of the Sacred Poultry. The Didius family finds a source of endless laughter and derision as…

REVIEW of Poseidon’s Gold, Last Act in Palmyra, and Time to Depart, by Lindsey Davis
Books five through seven in the Marcus Didius Falco series, by Lindsey Davis, continue to captivate my attention just as much as the previous four did. Once again, Lindsey Davis uses each novel to focus on a particular aspect of Roman society, providing a humorous narrator, a clever whodunit, and an unconventional love story to…
