Death on the Tiber

Rome is in chaos. The empire of a mobster chief is falling apart following his death. Rivals, fearsome relatives and associates are taking up position to vie for the spoils.

With hideous murders in the streets of Rome, a lone female traveller arrives with an agenda of her own. But when her corpse is dragged out of the river bearing signs of foul play, Flavia Albia is drawn in, concerned about her fellow Briton's fate.

Albia's quest to find the killer becomes deeply personal when she discovers a man at the centre of the plot is an old adversary of hers. Will she be obsessed by revenge? Can she let the past go, or will it consume her?©2024 Lindsey Davis

Another great installment

This is a great series with a fun group of characters. Some of the old nemeses return, so it is best to start from the first book. The narrator, as always, is superb. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes detective stories in an ancient setting (I’m fascinated by Ancient Roman history, so this is perfect for me).
