This is another very good story in the series. I am often amazed at how I start a book in this series, and initially find it not as interesting as I hoped, but then something happens and I find myself turning the pages.
There are essentially two separate plots in the book. And both leave you wondering if Gordianus will suffer a deep personal tragedy.
Still, in regard to this particular book, I think it could easily have been 100-150 pages shorter and still be a fine tale.

A mystery of ancient Rome. Gordianus, the finder moves to an Etruscan farm. He is asked by Cicero to watch his political rival and provide him with housing should he ask. When Godianus finds a headless corpse in his stables, he is swept into a dangerous mystery.

Very interesting historical mystery, intertwined with real historical figures. Makes Roman times come to life.
