I must admit that I’ve been a big fan of Ms. Davis since I read the first Falco novel and found the Flavia Albia to be second to the original series but with this book I found all the ingredients I love in her writing.
As usual, Flavia is hired to investigate but the twist that sends things spinning is the involvement of Faustus’s ex-wife and a bunch of overindulge parts that wouldn’t know the truth if it bit their nose off.
I love that in this new instalment, Flavia Albia sounds more mature and calm than the abrasive person she tended to be in the previous books. As for her husband Faustus, he is still the quiet one that exudes authority when needed. The one that I was glad to read very little about is Dromo, Faustus lazy slave.
I sincerely recommend this book bu one should be well advised to read the series in order.
