A review by jbleyle63
The House of the Vestals by Steven Saylor

4.0

Since it was a short story published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine that introduced me to Saylor's Roma Sub Rosa series, this collection of short stories proved to be much to my liking indeed. I particularly appreciated the historical notes at the end of this volume since Saylor's setting of this series in the history-rich period between the Roman Republic's transition to the Roman Empire has always been of keen interest to me. I look forward to the next volume in this series with Gordianus the Finder!
