A review by ruthbrarian
The King's Gambit by John Maddox Roberts

I inherited the books from my mother and finally started reading them. They're quite fun for lighter mystery adventures. I love the Rome he creates on the page and, based on my mother's years of teaching/researching Latin & Rome and her lack of railing about major errors, I think it's fairly historically accurate. Some bits like the forensics character are entirely out-of-place, but they don't detract from the proper historical feel.
