Finished Arms of Nemesis by Steven Saylor. This story takes place 8 years after his first title during Spartacus' slave war. I enjoyed the well-researched Ancient Roman references and details; Marcus Crassus, painting, cuisine, resort villas, galley slaves, funeral customs and general Roman laws. The mystery part was weak but better than his previous book. Word skill and dialogue were improved also. Rate C- [3 stars].
Next will be The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz.
