Format:Hardcover
Libertus has an important meeting with Quintus Severus, and hurrying back to his workshop to meet this esteemed client to discuss a new mosaic, he is annoyed to see yet again the greasy tray of pie-seller Lucius propped against his precious stock. He berates himself for being soft and buying one of Lucius's pies which even the starving dogs won't eat. He prays that Quintus Severus has not yet arrived and calls for his private slave Minimus to eject the pie-seller, but on entering his workshop he finds no sign of Minimus just a dead body. Unfortunately, at that moment Quintus Severus arrives and matters go from bad to worse.
Quintus Severus places the blame at the door of the poor little slave Minimus, who Libertus is sure has been kidnapped. When Libertus denies that Minumus has done such a thing Quintus says then maybe Libertus has done it himself, and climbing back into his litter cancels his pavement order.
There is even more mystery for Libertus when he finally returns home. And his detecting skills are severely tested as he seeks the truth about the killing of the pie-seller. And who is `The Green Man'?
I like Libertus and his wife Gwellia, who has a fund of good sense. An excellent entry in this most enjoyable series.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series of volumes featuring Libertus, a early British detective in Roman times. The stories are well written, encourage one to keep reading until the end. This particular volume continues in that vein. There is much information too about the times the book is set in. Loking forward to the next volume.

Murder in Roman Britain
1 Jun 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Rosemary Rowe provides a vivid picture of the life of persons living in second century Britain under the Roman regime. While historical mysteries are plentiful, this is one of the few to deal with this time and location, and it is one of the best Through the narration of the main character, a former slave who became a citizen and an artisan, we see all walks of life in that period and location from the highest political figures to the slaves. There is an excellent portrayal of the superstitions and political intrigue of the times. This journey to the past is enlivened by a whacking good mystery. If you have liked prior books of Ms. Rowe, you will love this book; and if you have not yet read any of her works, this book will make you a fan.
