Shadows in Bronze: A Marcus Didius Falco Novel (Marcus Didius Falco Mysteries)
This closes the conspiracy case Falco was assigned by Vespasian in the first book. The mystery is obvious and not really the strength of the book. It's the characters that make you happy. Falco's and Helena's dance around each other and their almost modern way of dealing with the problems and tragedy. I especially liked Falco's nephew in this. His family is as important as the mystery and in this book even more. The case is closed but Falco makes himself a dangerous enemy that will haunt the next few books. Even as a reread it's pretty good.
