A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: Murder in Ancient Rome by Emma Southon

1.0

The tone of this book is absolutely insufferable. I'm grumpy because the topic is one I'm interested in but the author uses this quirky/relatable style that seems like it's meant to appeal to the true crime podcast demographic, which is not an intelligent or thought-provoking way to write about a subject such as this one.
