4.0

The last of the (current) series to be read by me. The novel tells the story behind Clodius' profanation of the secret women's annual, religious festival—from which all men are banned. The reason, the venue and time were used to hide a meeting behind the biggest of the Roman political scene, so that they could craft the first triumvirate.

Our hero Decius stumbles around Rome, with his new slave Hermes, uncovering this puzzle piece by piece. Again, my one criticism, the resolution was too swift. A few more pages would be been better.

Here's hoping Roberts writes more in this series.
