• The Monster in the Box

  
  Flamingo House Happenings — Authority: 123
  How is it possible that I’ve never read a Rendell book? She’s awfully prolific and it’s certainly the type of book I’d have found myself considering from the shelves. The Monster in the Box was pretty good. I liked Inspector Wexford. I liked his wife and I liked his friends. I liked the bad guy though it ...

  Shannon A. — Authority: 120
  Read the first SPQR short today. At 17 pages long, it was scarcely worth getting the book from the library. It was a tight little murder mystery set directly after the previous book, as Decius heads back from Alexandria. I vaguely considered paging through the huge mass of other stories in Classical Whodunnits and ...

• SPQR IV: The Temple of the Muses, by John Maddox Roberts

  
  Shannon A. — Authority: 120
  Just finished The Day of the Muses , which is the fourth SPRQ book by John Roberts. It was a very nice change-of-pace book because it took place in Alexandria (Egypt) rather than Rome. Decius still had his typical problems of facing disbelief or indifference from his Romans peers, but at least the Egyptian King was ...
