Mystery Historical
Things are going well for Decius Caecilius Metellus. He is
praetor peregrinus, which means he has to judge a case or
two outside Rome. His first stop is Campania, “Italy’s most
popular resort district.” He and his wife, Julia, are happy
for a change of scenery. But the good times end when, in a
town near Vesuvius, a priest’s daughter is murdered. Decius must find her killer and keep the mob off a young boy
whom everyone blames but he believes to be innocent. Decius
may have acquired more prestige, but he's also acquired more
trouble. With his SPQR novels, John Maddox Roberts has
written a satisfying and entertaining historical mystery
series. The stakes just keep getting higher in this latest
atmospheric puzzle.
