Review: The Bull Slayer: A Plinius Secundus Mystery


The Bull Slayer: A Plinius Secundus Mystery
The Bull Slayer: A Plinius Secundus Mystery by Bruce MacBain

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Enjoyed this as much as the previous one. The book entertains in the manner of Saylor and Maddox Roberts. Some annoying (but expected) Calpurnia scenes. Excited to read MacBain's third.

Review: Roman Games: A Plinius Secundus Mystery


Roman Games: A Plinius Secundus Mystery
Roman Games: A Plinius Secundus Mystery by Bruce MacBain

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Pleasantly surprised at this one. Glad to have found a new Ancient Roman series that I genuinely like (read: couldn't put down). Pliny is not Decius (Caecilius Metellus), that's for sure, but I enjoy his character just the same. Excited to read The Bull Slayer.
