Untreed Reads discussion

Times were tough and the people tougher back in ancient Rome:

I, Claudia is a fast-paced, highly engaging mystery with an appealing atypical heroine.

More praise at Manic Readers and you can read a book excerpt at Untreed Reads.

I, Claudia by Marilyn Todd:

First in the Claudia Seferius mystery series, set in 13 B. C. and available for the first time in ebook format!

Claudia Seferius has successfully flattered her way into marriage with a wealthy Roman wine merchant. But when her secret gambling debts spiral, she hits on another resourceful way to make money - offering her “personal services” to high-ranking Roman Citizens.

Unfortunately her clients are now turning up dead - the victims of a sadistic serial killer.

When Marcus Cornelius Orbilio, the handsome investigating officer, starts digging deep for clues, Claudia realizes she must track down the murderer herself - before her husband discovers what she's been up to.
