Nemesis by Lindsey Davis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I’ve loved the entire series but this book is quite special. It brings all the strings from all the books in the series together and provides a most interesting and satisfying solution to a problem that has been around for a long time; Anacrites.

I have to give it to Ms. Davis, she writes a very excellent mystery in addition to creating a magnificent world to host it. She literally brings Rome (city and empire) to life in ways that I can’t imagine anyone else doing, much less attempting.

As a side note, I haven’t binged a book series in decades, so the ability to find, and dive into, this one has been quite a wonderful ride. Of course, it is also the entry into the Flavia Albia series, which I have also inhaled with great enjoyment.

The readers, Christian Rodska and Simon Prebble, were fantastic.

A fitting end to a wonderful series and a great beginning to another.
