Summary: Murder in the Countryside
Comment: John is again on the high wire without a net. He is still Justinian's trusted Lord Chamberlain and still Empress Theodora waits for an opportunity to eliminate him: ". . . the Lord Chamberlain and his head should part company as soon as possible."
The story is set in 539 when Justinan's brilliant general Belisarius is besieging the Ostrogoth capital of Ravenna. Two young potential heirs to the Ostrogoth throne are guests on Zeno's estate outside of Constantinople and one turns up dead. Theodora directs John to solve the crime and he knows he must do so or feel the wrath of "imperial whim".
As John puzzles out the mystery, Mary Reed and Eric Mayer treat us to descriptions of estate life in the country and to theatrical production with a Greek mechanic who creates "automations". The unusual time and settings continue to make this historical mystery series a treat to read.
Rating: 5
Summary: The Professional Reviewers Know Their Stuff
Comment: I agree with Ms. Mehl, whose excellent review of this book matches those of the other professional reviewers, from Publishers Weekly and Booklist, noted elsewhere on this page -- reviewers who, presumably, aim to offer informed, helpful opinions. The novel is fascinating, with a wealth of detail and plot twists and an ending that is rather startling.
Rating: 5
Summary: Another Home Run!
Comment: This book has it all....depth, character development, writing style, creativity. It is another great offering from its creative and incredible authors.
The character of John is intriguing and the research behind this super series is flawless.
I love this series and can hardly wait for the next one!
Don't miss this!
