My book beginning today is from another detective novel set in ancient Rome, about 40 years later than Bodies Politic, in 75AD. The Accusers is the 15th book in the very popular Marcus Didius Falco series by Lindsey Davis.
I had been an informer for over a decade when I finally learned what the job entailed.
About time, I would say….

I’ve read on of the other books in this series, and liked it a lot. This one sounds really interesting too.

Hi Rikki,
I haven’t come across this author, or series of books before, however I was so intrigued by that first line, that I just had to check them out.
I was amazed to see that the first book of the series was published way back in the early 90’s and that there are now some 20 books in total.
It looks as though I have been missing out on a great series, although I wonder just how much humour is involved in the stories?
Thanks for the introduction to another new author, have a great weekend.
