John reviewed Fatal Legacy by Lindsey Davis
Large cast of characters in an ancient roman legal mystery
3 stars
I have enjoyed several of the Falco series, and this tale of his adopted daughter, Flavia Albia. also has a good blend of insight into Roman life and a mystery written in a light humorous style. Due to the large number of related characters and extensive use of the tria nomnia this book would have been better as holiday reading than fitting in reading chapters interspersed with other activities. I am still inclined to read more in this series
