The Ides of April by Lindsey Davis

3.0

Falco's adopted British-born daughter, Flavia Albia takes over the family business with energy, wit and perseverance. She is the V I Warshawsky of Domitian Rome. This debut would have benefitted from more of Falco and Helena but it does include other characters from the Falco series and it's refreshing to see Flavia's perspective on them. I would have given it four stars if the villain hadn't been apparent so early in the book but it was fun and surprising to see the details of how the plot worked out.
