Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-29 00:00:00 William Byars This delightful book by Rosemary Rowe is already the 9th part of the wonderful Libertus mystery series. The historical foreword featuring at the beginning of the book is very well researched and the details are all explained in a really fine fashion. The storytelling is of an absolute top-notch quality, for the author has the ability to keep you as a reader really spellbound right until the end. This tale is set early in the year of AD 189 during the reign of Emperor Commodus and this same tale provides great likeable characters within this exciting murder mystery. The story itself is about Junio, former slave of pavement-maker Libertus, who's now on the verge of being granted his freedom by his former master by getting engaged to a girl when all of a sudden a gruesome discovery of a corpse threatens the new couple's happiness in their first roundhouse. So it's again time for our pavement-maker/investigator Libertus and his assistant Junio to dig deep into their findings and to find the perpetrator of this gruesome mosaic murder. A very intriguing murder mystery of a great series created by Rosemary Rowe wherein this formidable team of "Libertus and Junio excel again"!
