Death of a Poet by Keith Moray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

275 B.C. Hanufer of Crocodilopolis has been appointed Overseer of the Police in Alexandria. Desecration of an altar with a poem by disgraced and presumed dead poet Sotades is soon followed by a death. Then another death with nearby another poem ascribed to Sotades.
What us the motive behind these deaths and the ultimate aim. Hanufer and his Sergeant Sabu investigate.
An entertaining, well-written and well-plotted historical mystery. A good start to this new series with its likeable and interesting main characters.
