Desperate Undertaking by Lindsey Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First Century Rome. Davos, an old friend of Falco is looking for him hoping he can investigate the disappearance of fellow theatre manager Chremes. But it is Flavia Albia who is available and soon it becomes a murder investigation. In this she is helped by Mucius of the Seventh Vigiles. Then another body is discovered. But no motive can be shown though there seems to be enough possible suspects.
Another entertaining, well-plotted and well-written historical mystery with its very likeable and interesting characters. Another good addition to the series which can easily be read as a standalone story.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
