I have only read the first five yet but I like them also. I really like that you get to see another side of Rome then you usually see. You see the crimes and that some parts of the city was really dangerous and so on.

In the historical fiction genre I am also reading and liking Patrick O'Brian and I plan to start reading Dorothy Dunnet.
