Death and a Crocodile

You’ll love this fast-paced mystery set in first-century Rome, featuring a feisty amateur sleuth, a cast of eccentric characters, a glimpse of the early church, and an unrepentant, sausage-snatching cat.

When Livia’s father is murdered and her innocent brother accused of the crime, Livia and her spunky maidservant set out to uncover the truth. Rival suitors claim they’ll find the killer for her, but Livia doesn’t trust them. She’d rather find the murderer herself, even when the clues lead her to an unsavory tavern in the wrong part of town. Will she succeed in finding the culprit, or will her recklessness lead her into mortal danger?
