A review by ergative
Venus in Copper by Lindsey Davis

4.25

I liked this the best of the first three books in this series. The plot was twisty but not convoluted, and I was able to keep up with it; and it did a wonderful job of evoking Ancient Rome as a proper setting. The first two books do a certain amount of travelling, so we never really spend serious time in Rome The City. This time we did, and it really came alive.

I also enjoyed the musical chairs poisoning shenanigans. I love me a good poisoning.
