A Murder on the Appian Way, Steven Saylor

A Murder on the Appian Way by Steven Saylor is another mystery in the stories of Giordanus, the finder. This is the ninth book in the Roma Sub Roma series and I have not read all the books in the proper order.

Started:  10/15/2013
Completed: 7/13/2014
Recommendation: Highly recommended
Recommended by:  Nobody

Words I looked up:

spikenard -- The scent associated with a Himalayan plant (Nardostachys jatamansi) which was highly valued in the ancient world.

Review:

Steven Saylor never fails to amaze me with the trials he finds and sucks me into the details of "The Finder."  This book is no disappointment and though it took me a long time to read, it is not a reflection of the quality of the work.  I really enjoyed it and recommend it highly.
