Another delightful Marcus Corvinus Book
Murder Poison More murders. Lawyers. A small country town. Heirs contesting wills. Missing slaves witnesses and suspects.
Marcus Corvinus "a purple striper" (memeber of the senatorial class) and Perilla his wife (widow of Ovid the famous poet) have been summoned by Marilla their foster daughter to Castrimoenium (which literally means fortified or walled settlement) where a lawyer has been accidentally or intentionally been poisoned by his medicine or his wife or a slave or his brother in law or ... meanwhile temperamental chef Meton seems to be having an affair with a free woman which is illegal and Placida the Gallic boarhound is still not house trained.
Marcus has to find the murderer and who it was surprised even me ... and you learn a few things about Roman cooking and wine.
Another fascinating investigation set in the Latium countryside.
Visit ancient Italy and enjoy Marcus using his skills to resolve several mysteries.
