Deadly Election by Lindsey Davis

4.0

Another excellent escape to a vibrant Ancient Rome - alive and familiar in all its seediness and confusion. I love these books for how they bring the ancient world to life while remaining historically accurate. The mystery plot is a good one but of course the main interest is in the very well-drawn characters, again psychologically real, and Flavia Albia herself, particularly her developing relationship with stoic aedile, Faustus. You won't be disappointed!
