Oracle of the Dead by John Maddox Roberts

4.0

Whether intended or not, this entry is a nod to Agatha Christie. A bit of a locked room mystery (although in this case it is an inaccessible cave) with all relevant parties gathered at the end for the Poirot-esque denouement. Decius and Julia visit the oracle at the shrine of Hecate in Campagna only to have the body of the head priest of the adjoining cult of Apollo appear at their feet. A day later, all the priests of Apollo are found dead.
