Summary

Rome is in chaos. The empire of a mobster chief is falling apart following his death. Rivals, fearsome relatives and associates are taking up position to vie for the spoils.

With hideous murders in the streets of Rome, a lone female traveller arrives with an agenda of her own. But when her corpse is dragged out of the river bearing signs of foul play, Flavia Albia is drawn in, concerned about her fellow Briton's fate.

Albia's quest to find the killer becomes deeply personal when she discovers a man at the centre of the plot is an old adversary of hers. Will she be obsessed by revenge? Can she let the past go, or will it consume her?

Great story

loved this storey linking Albia's past,with her father, and the present. Filled with details as usual, the story comes to life and gives a wonderful dangerous picture of the past in Rome.

Mystery and humour

Tha annual treat of this series never disappoints. Old friends and continuing enmities. Twists in the tale. Dry humour. Well narrated.

A joining of the two series of books.

I really enjoy Jane Collingwood narrating the Flavia Albia books. This book brought back Falco and Petronius, Maya and the annoying Milvia. It is lovely to see how their lives progress.
This was probably my favourite of all the Flavia Albia series.

development of the character of Flavia Albia.

Again Lindsey Davis produced a gripping story brought to life by Jane Collingwood's narration, so thank you and cannot wait to listen to the next book.

Clever and witty story telling

There is a little bit too much going over past stories. less of a whodoneit and more of a moral tale. Enjoyable never the less.
