Description
A Comedy of Terrors by Lindsey Davis is a witty and engaging mystery set in ancient Rome. During the Saturnalia festival, Flavia Albia is tasked with investigating a case, but all work has been paused due to family tensions and holiday celebrations. As she navigates her own domestic stress, Albia must go it alone to uncover the truth behind a deadly menace threatening the city. The Emperor's promise of a spectacular entertainment has turned into a target for old criminals' new schemes, and Albia's husband Tiberius is preoccupied with local strife. With law and order paused for partying, Flavia Albia must use her sharp observational skills to unravel the mystery before it's too late. As the winter solstice approaches, Rome teeters on the brink of chaos, and Albia's investigation becomes a race against time to uncover the truth behind the sinister plot.
