Solid Citizens | David Wishart

December, AD39. While enjoying the Winter Festival holiday at his adopted daughter’s home in the Alban Hills, Marcus Corvinus discovers that an outwardly respectable pillar of the community, local politician Quintus Caesius has been discovered beaten to death at the rear entrance of the town brothel. Questioning those who knew the victim, Corvinus is dismayed to find Bovillae a place of small town secrets, bitter feuds, malicious gossip and deadly rivalry: a world away from the sophistication of Rome. As he is to discover, there are several suspects with reason to bear Caesius a grudge. But who would hate him enough to kill him? And what would a supposedly solid citizen be doing visiting the local brothel?

On a visit to his adoptive daughter and her husband for the Winter Festival, Marcus Corvinus is asked to investigate the death of a local worthy found with his head bashed in outside the back door to a brothel.

Less convoluted than the high politics stories. Closely tied to a previous instalment in the series which I have only the vaguest memory of.

Cuilin Sounds like a great read! 2y

"ā€Nonsense, Marcus! Phormio‘s an excellent chef.‘ She paused. Perilla can be pretty dogmatic, sure, but at root she‘s fair and honest. ā€In his way. By his own lights. Within certain parameters. It‘s simply that he can be rather too ā€¦ inventive at times.‘"
