The next witty, must-listen audiobook in the Flavia Albia series.

An unpaid bar bill leads Flavia Albia to her most bitter and complex case yet.

Decades earlier Appius Tranquillus Surus wrote his will: it freed his slaves and bequeathed his businesses to them. He left an orchard to the Prisci, a family he was friendly with, on the condition that his freedmen could still take its harvest.

The convoluted arrangement has led to a feud between the two families, each of which has its own internal strife. Endless claims and counterclaims lead to violence and even death. Lawyers have given up in exasperation as the case limps on. The original will has disappeared, along with a falsified codicil - and might there be another one?

But is there a solution? Two youngsters from each side of the divide, Gaius Venuleius and Cosca Sabatina, have fallen in love, which could unite the feuding families. There is only one problem: were Sabatina's grandmother and father really liberated in the Surus will? If not, the stigma of slavery will stop the marriage and the dispute will rage on forever.

Reconciliation seems impossible, but Albia will try. Her investigation must cut through decades of secrets, arguments, lies and violence to reach a startling truth.


Praise for Lindsey Davis and the Flavia Albia series

'It positively crackles with knowledge of the city and its people, mixed with social comment, ingenious and bloody plots and sharp observational skills leavened by more than a smattering of genuine and sometimes earthy humour' Crime Review

'Fiendishly twisted mystery' Mail on Sunday

'Great fun, shot through with sharp observations' SHOTS

Eleştirmen yorumları

All teeming Roman life is here with its smells, entrenched snobbery . . . and superstitions described by a wise-cracking heroine. A feast, to be savoured with a cup, or two, of violet wine
another Roman riot of fun

A new book from Lindsey Davis is a thing to cherish. Despite a houseful of guests inconveniently getting in the way of an uninterrupted listen, this book still finished too soon (I did have to volunteer to walk the dog twice a day, and we took a very meandering route). The characters are as vivid as ever (although, with such a twisty, interrelated group it did take a while to sort them in my head!). Fantastic narration. I so love Flavia's world that I shall have to go right back to the first Falco novel to keep me happy until - hopefully- we get our next instalment.

Blissful

Well read but a complicated story with so many characters with similar names that I found it hard to follow the narrative at times

Complicated

Bewildering array of characters, needs a family tree. Hard to make sense of it all then suddenly it picks up pace and the ending is superb. Brilliant reading again.

Another glimpse of the Roman way of life

Without wishing to give the end away, the conclusion of the main case was a really compassionate tear jerker. I loved it

A Good Read

it was a welcome relief after the gruesome investigation of the preceding book. I found it hard to keep count of all the family members: a list of characters would be useful

an informer with a good sense of humour
