Product Description

Synopsis

Visiting her stepmother at the family estate in Tuscany, Claudia is concerned at the gaggle of hangers-on surrounding the old lady. There's the sorceress Candace and the handsome horse trader Darius, both of whom seem to hold Larentia equally in their thrall. And, what of the series of recent local murders, and the mishaps - including soured wine - that have befallen a number of people? Amidst the mysteries of the local religion, could the god Fufluns be working some plan; or even Veive, the god of revenge? Or are there even more sinister forces at work?

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Mystery for Claudia, 16 Sep 2006
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Marilyn Todd's fast paced historical murder mysteries set in the time of Ancient Rome and featuring the beautiful Claudia Seferius are growing in popularity and the author is up there with the David Wishart's, Steven Saylor`s, not forgetting the Lindsey Davis's of the book world. Perhaps to have a woman and an alluring one at that, rather than a man as the sleuth and lead character is a stroke of genius on Todd's part.

Claudia knows that she is looked upon as easy pickings by some of the men who are eager to try to take advantage of a beautiful widow who has been left a thriving wine business by her late husband.. But nothing could be further from the truth. Behind the beautiful exterior lies an intelligent and shrewd mind and the heart any lion would be proud of.


Claudia has some cause for concern. She is in Tuscany visiting the family estate of her stepmother and is more than a little perturbed about the group of hangers on that seem to be surrounding the old lady like a flock of vultures, waiting for their prey to final succumb. There has also bee a spate of murders in the region and so called accidents have befallen a number of the local people.

Could the gods be at work in this. The local people are very superstitious and some believe that the local gods are at work. Or are things a lot more sinister than a few local superstitions . . .
