Review of Ovid, by David Wishart

Ovid by David Wishart - Review

Ovid is a light-hearted historical mystery in the same vein as the Lindsey Davis Falco series. The time period and class of Wishart's sleuth are different (Falco lives in Flavian Rome and has just worked his way into the Equestrian class, while Corvinus is a patrician in the age of Tiberius), but the characters of Corvinus and Falco are similarly appealing.
