In 90 A.D., following the Saturninus revolt in Germany, the Emperor Domitian has become more paranoid about traitors and dissenters around him. This leads to several senators and even provincial governors facing charges and being executed for supposed crimes of conspiracy and insulting the emperor. Wanting to root out all the supports of Saturninus from the Senate, one of Domitians men offers to hire Flavia Alba to do some intelligence work. Flavia Alba, daughter and chip off the old block of Marcus Didius Falco, would rather avoid any and all court intrigue, thank you very much. But shes in a bit of a bind. Her wedding is fast approaching, her fianc is still recoveringslowlyfrom being hit by a lightning bolt, and shes the sole support of their household. So with more than a few reservations, she agrees to investigate. Adding to the confusion is yet another Nero pretender has shown up in Parthia and is trying to rally support for his claim for the throne. With intrigue upon intrigue swirling around the capital city, its up to Albia to uncover what isand isntthe real threat.

After four years of slowly working my way through the Falco and Flavia Albia series I've finally caught up. A fun read, but now I'm bummed that I actually have to wait for the rest of the series to come out one by one :/

Her new husband is struck by lightning, their home is half-furnished, and bills will soon need paying, but Flavia Albia is nothing daunted. Despite her dislike for Domitian, private informer Albia uncovers a plot to unseat him. This level-headed daughter of Helena Justina takes you through the twisty schemes of 1st century Rome, complete with unsavory characters and stinking fish glue. You'll be rapt - but mind the war elephant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This weekend has been a gut punch. I had a choice: 1) Clean toilets like a good girl; 2) Grab some self-care time. Being a good girl is over-rated anyway.

mrsmarch I just finished this one! Love Albia. 7y
Grrlbrarian Me too @mrsmarch 👌 Did you read all the Marcus Didius Falco ones too? Those are some of my fave books ever! 7y
mrsmarch @Grrlbrarian I did read all the Falco novels too! Many years ago I didn't appreciate the hybrid British-Roman murder mystery style, but then I got older and learned to appreciate the tongue in cheekness. 7y

Grrlbrarian @mrsmarch Falco and Helena are one of my fave bookish couples EVER. And I still have a crush on Petronius! 😍 7y
mrsmarch @Grrlbrarian Petro!! ❤️❤️ I suggested Petra as a name for daughter #2 but DH said it sounded too much like "petrol." ? I read the entire Falco gauntlet while I was pregnant, ok?! 7y
mrsmarch @Grrlbrarian Do you get the feeling Albia and Faustus are not long for the married world? 7y
Grrlbrarian @mrsmarch I've thought carefully about Flavia & Faustus... they might separate for a time but unless he dies, I think they'll stay together 🤞 7y

When you're a mom, sometimes your reading time is when baby falls asleep on your stomach.

I've been to Target and the library with the 7 month old while daddy stayed home with the 4 year old to build some Knex....now the baby is asleep so I totally deserve this book and this snack, right?!

#TBRtemptation post 1! Released in April. The fifth installment in the Flavia Albia series. A fan of the Roman Empire? You'll love this! Flavia's husband may be permanently disabled, so she is offered a commission to seek out a plotter in the Palace. The unpopular Emperor Domitian is far off fighting a war, and a false Nero is planning to take the throne. She must find the impostor before he kills her. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

mrsmarch Love Flavia. 7y

On 19th April, I'll be leaving my job to go full-time, proper, scary freelance. What better way to celebrate (in an very Litsy way!) than an evening at Waterstones?

And I'd missed the Flavia Albia series altogether, so I have 4 books of catching up to do 😊
