Flavia Albia's day-old marriage is in trouble - her new husband may be permanently disabled and they have no funds. So when Palace officials ask her to help expose a plotter in their midst she is obliged to accept their commission.

The plot could not be bigger. Ever since he died in AD 68, apparently by his own hand, Rome has been haunted by reports that the Emperor Nero is in fact very much alive and about to return to claim his throne.

Two Nero pretenders have emerged in the East and met grisly fates. But now, as the Emperor Domitian, whose tyrannical, paranoid reign grows ever more unpopular, fights a war in faraway Dacia, there emerges a far more sinister contender. What's more the rumour is that this false Nero is already in Rome. Plunged into the conspiracy, Flavia must infiltrate the house of the Parthians who have smuggled in this new impostor, negotiate with spies, dodge the assassins sent by the Palace traitor, and somehow cope with her stricken husband.

Can she succeed before the impostor is revealed? Or will Rome once more be plunged into civil war?

Review

Davis's prose is a lively joy, and Flavia's Rome is sinister and gloriously real., The Times on Saturday

Review

Praise for THE IDES OF APRIL:

Davis was primus and still has no pares ... The auguries promise a long, successful series. - Telegraph

Sadly, after 20 novels, Lindsey Davis is no longer chronicling the adventures of Marcus Didius Falco, her private eye in Ancient Rome. But fear not. With the Ides of April, she has only stepped down a generation. Enter the feisty, savvy and attractive Flavia Albia ... Davis continues her wonderful portrayal of the city and its inhabitants, and the delightful Flavia Alba adds an important element - the complicated status of working women. - The Times

This is a welcome return to the familiar territory of ancient Rome. - Literary Review

Lindsey Davis's many fans will have been made anxious by the news that she is embarking on a news series with a new sleuth. They need not worry. Marcus Didius Falco's adopted daughter, Flavia Albia, is a wonderful creation, rendered with a surprising tenderness ... Just as closely researched and yet light-hearted as the Falco novels, The Ides of April is more touching. - Bookoxygen

Like revisiting an old friend

I haven't read any Lindsay Davis for a few years, having a break after reading all the Falco books and the first Flavia Alba. Reading the new series has rekindled my love for Davis' writing style, and thoroughly enjoy the romp through ancient Rome solving mysteries. They are not fast moving, but this develops the readers relationships with the characters. Will definitely be continuing the the next in the series.

Another Thrilling Flavia Albia Mystery!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2017

Verified Purchase

This exciting Roman mystery is the 5th volume of the fascinating Flavia Albia series.
This series is getting better and better all the time concerning suspense and excitement, and every now and then there are some comparisons towards her famous (fictional) foster-father Falco, which makes me glad.
Story-telling is of a top-notch quality because this book is easy to read and to follow, and because all the characters come vividly to life within this thrilling story, and the background details are superbly described in this great book.
The book contains a wonderful map of the Palatine Hill and it's surroundings in Rome, while you'll also find a great list of delightful characters, real and fictional, who are featuring within this superb story.
The tale is once more set in Rome itself and in the year AD 89 during the Reign of the tyrannical and paranoid Emperor Domitian.
This tale is about Flavia Albia, who after her husband's accident and having no funds, is asked by Palace officials to help to expose a plotter within the Secretariat, but when she starts to investigate the plot could not be bigger, because in Rome there's someone who presents himself as the long dead Emperor Nero with the help of the Parthians and the Roman plotter.
What will follow is a thrilling and captivating mystery in which Flavia Albia is plunged headlong into a conspiracy, whereby she has to infiltrate the house of the Parthians, formerly Anacrites's house, where the imposter is living, and also she has to negotiate with spies, but most dangerous of all she has to deal with assassins sent by the Palace traitor, and so in a race against time, for Emperor Domitian is to be expected home soon in Rome, she has to do her utmost and remain cunning in all situations to be able to expose the imposter in the end.
Very much recommended, for this book is in my opinion; "Another Thrilling Flavia Albia Mystery"!

Excellent Entry in the "Cursus Honorarium"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2017

Verified Purchase

Excellent!! Back to Ancient Rome,with Flavia Albia and her Aedile Husband Tiberius getting back into the way of working for the Palace without getting "Embedded" in the machinations of the Imperial political system , with its scheming bureacrats all seeking to do their work and avoid the Imperial gaze. Full of sardonic asides and as ever the depth of research shines out,showing a world Far,FAR different to ours! Highly Recommended,BUT-reading the earlier Volumes in this series would be a good idea before dropping straight into Rome and onto the Aventine!

Intrigue and Treason!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2017

Verified Purchase

Having previously devoted herself to domestic investigations, Flavia Albia, in need of funds whilst her lightning-struck new husband recovers, is drawn into palace intrigues as, in the absence of the Master & God Domitian, someone is plotting. Cronies old and new turn up and possible future allies and enemies (or sometimes both) are found. This series, spun off the Falco books, have really come into their own now, I enjoyed this Lindsey Davis-flavoured taste of Roman life as much as any of Albia's adopted father's capers.

So easy to read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2017

Verified Purchase

I pre-ordered this item as am a big fan and have read all so far. So easy to read, so well scripted. The storyline was well researched and easy to follow. You get to learn something about ancient Rome too. The new characters are looking good for future books, and it was lovely to be reminded of other Didii members. I wonder if there would be merit in the script of The Spook Who Spoke being made available to local AmDram societies? The only downside is having to wait 12m for the next one.

Ancient Rome is alive again!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2019

Verified Purchase

The scene is set superbly as always, and Flavia Albia is a great central character amongst some ‘interesting’ family, friends and suspects. She’s very quickly up to her eyes in dodgy dealings and you’d need to keep a good memory for names and status!
I really liked that this tale looked back to her parents and family more than the previous books - the Falco books were my faves but Albia is a very likeable, feisty lady!
