Caveat Emptor
by Ruth Downie, 336 pgs, hardcover
Series: Gaius Petreius Ruso series book #4
Overall Grade: A-
Another series of ancient Roman mysteries! This one occurs during the Roman Empire, the reluctant sleuth (Ruso) is an army doctor by training, and this particular mystery is sent in Roman Britannia. The dilemma involves a tax collector and his brother who went missing with the taxes from a nearby town. Eventually you feel as frustrated as Ruso, learning more about the Roman bureaucracy and monetary system than you ever wanted to know.
BTW - the title translates to "buyer beware"
