vsbedford's review against another edition
3.0
A strong series - and although the writing style is not my cup of tea, I can can see how these novels would provide a very good time for lots of readers, especially historical mystery fans who would like to leave Victorian London or in-between-wars England for a while. A recommend.
I received an ecopy from NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a fan of this series that I consider one of the best in the historical mystery field.
It's well researched, well written and I love the characters and the historical setting.
This time we're not in Constantinople but in Rome during one of the barbarian sieges.
Once I started the book I was hooked and I was enthralled by both the plot and the historical events described in the book.
A wonderful reading experience and I hope there'll be soon another instalment in this series.
Highly recommended!

In this 12th of the series former Lord Chamberlain, John has left his home in Greece to travel back to Rome to help his friend Felix.
I found it difficult to be interested in these characters or the story probably because I had not read the previous eleven books.
A NetGalley Book
