It's been a while since I last visited this series so it took me a bit of time to find my feet but once I did I found this another solid entry in this historical mystery series. The format of this series is to take a well known event from this period of history and to link it to a smaller personal dispute of the time. It is a really fun premise which continues to intrigue. I find myself learning a lot about the time period while also being sucked into the mystery, characters and the societal reflections they offer. I won't leave it so long before next returning to Gordianus and Co.
