Emma Southon is hilarious! This book is super accessible and addictive. I loved Emma's style of writing and her views were brilliant.
If you're a fan of Roman History and True crime this is the perfect book for you! Highly researched and funny, I found this hard to put down. Some parts of this book are difficult to read (obviously) but it's highly fascinating and an eye opening read to all the gruesome murders happening in Ancient Rome. I really liked how it was sectioned with different sections and chapters for different types of murders and people. Emma Southon is now on my auto-buy author list.
