I picked up this gem as a limited offer freebie on Amazon and I really have been impressed! The author earned every one of the 5 star reviews he's received thus far. Apart from one or two very minor editing errors/typos, this book is perfect.

The plotting and dialogue are very well written. This book caught my eye because of the similarity to the time period and subject matter of the Marcus Didius Falco mysteries by Lindsay Davis. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it compares quite favourably and is perfectly capable of standing on its own merits.

The author can certainly write and I for one hope that we don't have to wait long for his next work.
