Number three in the SPQR series, and Decius Caecilius Metellus is investigating a very political case: what male noble spied on a sacred womens' ceremony in the house of up-and-coming politician Julius Caesar? The story moves from conspiracy to conspiracy, but the trip is eased by a vivid recreation of late Republican Rome, and by a very dry humor. SPQR series III: the Pontifex Maximus, Julius Caesar, decrees that "Caesar's wife must be above suspicion". Scandal rocks the city when a religious ceremony at which his wife Pompeia presides is corrupted by the presence of a hidden man. The young senator Decius Caecilius Metellus the younger investigates as 4 murders follow. A good historical mystery series. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

When a sacret woman's rite in the ancient city of Rome is infiltrated by a corrupt patrician dressed in female garb, it falls to Senator Decuis Caecilius Metellus the Younger, whose investigative skills have proven indispensable in the past, to unmask the perpetrators. When four brutal slayings follow, Decius enlists the help a notorious and dangerous criminal. Together, they establish a connection between the sacrilege and the murders, and track the offenders from the lowest dregs of society to the prominent elite of the upper class, finding corruption and violence where Decius least expects it.

A very enjoyable entry in this series. I found the suggestion of what else was going on at Caesar's house that night very ingenious and amusing to contemplate. ( )
