Welcome to Litsy!

Starting a new book and enjoying the last day of the nice spring weather in SoCal. Tomorrow the heat returns. 🔥

possibly my favourite so far: hoping Downie takes him to Pompeii next (!)

Set in imperial Rome. But horribly familiar in post Brexit Britain.

I love this series, so great to get the new one from the library.

What's one of my favorite perks of being a book blogger? Glorious book mail!! So excited to add this beautiful book to my TBR pile and shelves!!

Just finished this. It was a little busy in the plot, but a the feeling of slight confusion seemed in keeping with characters who were flailing around try to find a place for themselves after arriving in Rome. I don't know enough about the Ancient Roman Empire to pick holes in the history. And I didn't guess the murder in advance. A fun read.

I'm enjoying the #24in48 posts. Wish I could join you! At least I started the day by finishing this Roman mystery. Ruso & Tilla have left Britain for Rome with their new baby daughter, Mara. Ruso hopes for a fresh start but finds only trouble, starting with a dead man in a barrel on his doorstep. Roman-era life woven into a decent mystery!
