A Comedy of Terrors by Lindsey Davis
4.0
*Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for providing an advanced copy in exchange for an honest reiew*
The latest in a long running series, Lindsey Davis continues the story of Flavia Albia, her growing family, and her work as an investigator in Ancient Rome. Albia continues to be a fantastic leading lady, solving mysteries and juggling an increasingly busy domestic life with the addition of her husband's small nephews to their household during Saturnalia, the biggest holiday of the year. Davis is a master at crafting mysteries, her formula remains more or less the same, but each case has been so wildly different from the next that it's still as exciting to follow as book one. The cast of characters are varied and interesting, and while the reoccurring cast is getting rather large at this point in the series, it's not hard to keep track of everyone. Fans of this series, and Davis' Falco series, will love this new addition that retains all of what makes her books so fun to read.
