A review by zeozombz
Deadly Election by Lindsey Davis
4.0
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️➕
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am giving it 4 1/2 stars because I tend to enjoy every book and while this one is great I have another murder-mystery series I am reading that is outstanding. With that said, I truly do recommend this series of books. The story lines are good, the characters are well developed, the main characters are easy to relate to, and the series offers a little kiss of history.
This particular book in the series is about an election and a couple of close knit families. I feel like you get a little glimpse of early Rome (although I am not a historian and cannot confirm how historically accurate the book is for the time period of 89 CE) may have been during the reign of Domitian. You get the feel from the book that he was a corrupt leader, but he is not a focus.
The series flows really well from book to book and the character’s relationships develop quite nicely in this book. I find that I enjoy the main character being such a strong female that still knows she has to gently and professionally maneuver through a man’s world.
