A review by assaphmehr
One Virgin Too Many by Lindsey Davis
4.0
Falco explores one of the most ancient of mysteries in Roman society, the Vestal Virgins.
Expect a review of Rome's religious institutions circa the time of Vespasian. The Vestal Virgins were still prominent, respected, and iconic figures in Roman life. They sit in the front row at the circus with the emperor, and take care of sacred duties.
The serious, twisting mystery is a race against time to find a lost little girl that is destined to join the Vestals. This is tempered by Falco's rather humorous role as the Procurator of the Sacred Geese. Add in his evovling family life and the Roman scenery, and this is another classic Davis novel.
Be aware that while it's not necessary to read the books in order, it certainly helps - certainly so far into the series.
