A Roman Ransom (Libertus Mystery Series)

Rosemary Rowe

Headline Book Publishing, 2007

Great Roman Britain mysteries
The blurb says second to Saylor but I like these better than Saylor. I would say second to Lindsey Davis instead. That said, these are books that I buy as hardbacks since I don't want to wait a year for the paperback. History lessons have never been so enjoyable!
